Personally speaking, I would advice people new to disc golf, or even tournaments, to hold off a bit on PDGA membership. You can help grow the sport just fine without one, and in my experience, the people who get into any activity full tilt from the get go, and have to have EVERYTHING like they're not up with the Jones's if they don't are usually the first people to permanently burn out, hence contributing to the high amount of non-renewals.
But alas, it's not my dollars being spent. I can't truly define 'worth it' to another person whose paycheck I don't make, and whose financial priorities are different from my own.
