PDGA Affiliate Club Program

The Ace Eagles will again be participating in PDGA Affiliate Club. If you have not renewed your PDGA membership hold off another week until I get the verification. They have made it easier this year by getting rid off the bundling memberships & adding online access. You can renew your PDGA membership online & just select the "Ace Eagle Disc Golf club" under the Affiliate Club section, & you will save $5. Read below for more details about benefits & rewards for most members signed up.


The PDGA would like to announce the 4th year of the Affiliate Club PDGA Membership contest.

2009 will be the eighth year for the ACP. We hope the club program will continue to evolve into a useful tool for disc golf clubs around the country. We've tried to design it to be easy for a club to make the decision to become an Affiliate. Check out the benefits below and "do the math". Suggestions of additional benefits are welcome - the Affiliate Club program has been a community project throughout initial design and it is your input that helps the program develop
as it grows.

The Affiliate Club PDGA Membership Contest

In 2006 we launched a contest to reward those Affiliate Clubs that turned in the most PDGA Bundled memberships. It has been received so well we are doing it again in 2009!

The contest will run from Nov 17th 2008 through Aug 31st 2009 and will include only 2009 ACP handled PDGA memberships that are submitted by active 2009 PDGA Affiliate Clubs, In the interests of allowing clubs of different sizes a shot at winning, there are 3 categories for this contest: - A) Most PDGA bundled members - B) Most new PDGA members in the bundles - C) Most improved PDGA bundled memberships.

A) will award the club with the most bundled memberships turned in, B)will award the club that turns in the most new PDGA members in their bundles, while C) will award the club that turns in the most memberships above their 2008 number of ACP handled PDGA memberships.

A club can win only one of the 3 categories. If the 1st place club has already won in another category, the prize will go to the 2nd place club and so on.

Each winning club will receive $100 in credit for the PDGA Store.
