I havent been on here (site) for a quite a while.. but logged in today - glad to see JeffMonty already linked up our local. Yes - a static webpage for a club or assoc. should still exist. It can be simple, almost like a brochure of and for the club. Active calendar and need to know info is...

In discussions like these - it's always best to think about and approach the topic from the creator side instead of the consumer side first. Consumer side second. This particular thread has done well on that point, readily understanding the effort and sacrifice and drive(s) of the content...

This has been an interesting read - not a new topic (PTP), but enjoyed the all too true wisdom that came from Whiteybear's sequence as well as Chuck's synopsis on why year round passes at Morley were not a winning thing. To those that speak of Maine - I had heard (unsubstantiated) that risk...

For Disc Golfers, if its not cash then the next best thing is snacks. not just a snack item - "groups" of snack items. Mini gift basket with a "few" things. Drink or two, something salty, something spicy, something sweet. Something silly (box of cereal, slim Jim) There is an additive...

I love thinking about/organizing fundraising events, and helping out behind the scenes in getting them set up. Keys to good fundraising events (when the focus is on the fundraising, not throwing a party for your friends while donating a few bucks at the end to a cause to make you feel better...

or go a little Scot Pilgrim on it… "Sock Bob Omb!" Wysocki able to pull of a good Michael Cera impersonation?

Virtually any format can work, for your goals, if promoted right. The best format matches for you, if desire really is wide demographic target, with any desire for new, female, or youth players, will focus less on skills or scores, and focus more on the event, player gifts if any, and on...

I believe there was a time where the "merchapalooza" was indeed fulfilling a vital and critical sport growth role that other means couldn't fill. That is - when access and availability of disc golf plastic was harder to come by. (or d near impossible to get so I hear) If there is no other way...

man… I hate to say it, but let's talk bird watching stations. Just for fun. I mean it, just for fun. Not making too much of a point. again, just for fun. I know what I'll type will likely sound like crazy talk… but… That bird watching station - would likely be sited in a vegetative...

Didn't want this one to get passed by too quickly. The big view. Which is that there are some trends afoot in this direction. When asked - in the long range, will there be more or less of a trend towards True Amateur formats? - I would say more. The counter - will there be more or less...

I like JC's thoughts here. Though, I am personally less focused on increasing fees being prohibitive - as I think even they are good value compared to other sporting activities in the marketplace as been talked about. But I do see them and many current event structures being "selective" in...

mattw: your reasoning is sound and what I was alluding to - your willingness to pay up to a magic number (20 in this example) for no payout, no player gifts. and recognition only (trophy or equivalent). My magic numbers were for no payout, no player gifts. When you strip away the gifts and...

Matt - Here is something. What is your "magic number" for an event at which no "return hard good value" is expected? I believe that there are magic numbers for this. It may vary a little bit across North America, but I believe the numbers are: Under $20 for a one round "event" (event...

added: I would say that an "unbundled" "opt in" or "select for package" model most likely works the best and easiest when Payout is not occurring. Likely best in a recognition only type event (trophy or otherwise). The added logistical step of sorting payout participating vs non payout...

Its a perfect off shoot - and the same core issue that comes up over and over. The concept of the "opt in" or "unbundled" event package at sign up. Custom online/online pay systems have made this a real option. Also, growth in event demand also is an enabler of this approach. There is one...
