Definitely a nice feature that it underutilized.
I've been listed as a guide for a couple of courses I've played too many times to count since this spring but just added a couple more I play regularly now.
I was actually contacted for this by MacGyver214 earlier this year

I'm a guide at Glenn Hilton in Hickory but not at any of the courses around me. I've never had anyone contact me about a round though.

I agree. Whats the worst that could happen? Someone contacts you and if you have a reason not to go or just don't want to then you decline.
There's no contractual obligation involved.
suggestions for guides
While it would be great for a guide to be readily available to play with anyone who asks, this won't always be possible ... but a guide can certainly be helpful without actually being present. How?
1) Make sure the course information is correct, especially the directions.
2) Make sure the hole information is correct.
3) Have many useful links and files listed under the links/files tab, such as:
5) Write a good review, that knits all this information together, and gives the reader an idea as to the "flavour" of the course.
Do all of the above, and you'll be a valuable guide, even if you can't actually be present.
I'm a guide for Rockburn http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=97 , but have never been contacted. However, a few reviews refer to the navigation guide a wrote, which is satisfying to read about ...

- a) course link, if one exists
- b) park link, if it is in a park
- c) club link, if a club is closely associated with the course
- d) a forum link, if the local area/state has a link for the course
- d) a course map
- e) a course navigation guide
- f) a local amenities guide

Swatso is absolutely right about keeping the course information complete and current. :clap:
I added a course guides line item to the course pages to make this feature a little more obvious.
I've been a guide for 2 courses since the week that Tim made the feature available, but I've never been contacted for guiding someone. But then again, i've never asked anyone to be a course guide either.

thats a nice lil tweak.
Things are looking up.
Become a guide for the courses near you that you know. There is really no downside to it.
Nobody but Bill lives close enough to want to make that drive

Bill Mckenzie: designer, owner and operator of Flip City Disc Golf Park.
Would probably make a good guide for the course.
hee hee...a man of the people, eh?:clap:
man it would be so cool to golf with an icon like him! is he as cool as he sounds on paper?
I just signed up for my local courses...though you really don't need one I figure if someone actually asks me to show them around I get 2 things:
1) To meet someone new
2) To play a round
Both good things, so why not!?
