Mission Statement: “The Fort Collins Disc Golf Association is dedicated to representing the needs and interests of Disc Golfers of all ages and abilities by promoting fun events, fundraising events, charity events, outreach programs, facilitating course development and preservation, and communicating with local officials.â€
Purpose: This is a free club for all those who love Disc Golf. We focus on fun Beginner/Am Events. We offer many free and affordable events each year, two free beginners clinics, and we always have an open door policy for any help someone wants to offer growing our club in any area.
We also would like to focus on maintaining our current courses, future course proposals, community outreach, and seeking new sponsors. We only grow with more volunteers and donations!
All members must play at their own risk for all events. FCDG is not liable for any injuries, damages, or stolen items. All members must play with proper disc golf etiquette and respect! Always keep in mind peace, love, and disc golf!
PDGA’s (Professional Disc Golf Association) stats on the demographics of Disc Golf are extremely encouraging. There is a % 15 percent annual growth in the PDGA. There are about 50,000 Sanctioned PDGA disc golfers and the numbers keep growing. Our own research shows that many city’s with 150,000 people or more have around seven 18 hole disc golf courses. Currently we have one tournament quality course in town. It will take the city 10 or 20 years to get another tournament quality course installed. The FCDGA will be working on grants, land owners, and working with the city to get more courses in sooner than later. We need people to step up and meet the needs of this growing sport.
The FCDGA is for any person that would like to play disc golf from the casual beginner to the most professional disc golfer. We offer fun events and serious tournaments. We would like to see our local professional’s PDGA rankings go up, as well as for the numbers of new players.
Our local community is also very important to us. The city of Fort Collins is a beautiful town with great people. We are lucky to have such amazing parks and supportive citizens. FCDGA likes to give back in many ways from maintenance days sprucing up the courses in our park and schools. As well as running Clinics, Fundraiser’s, and charity events each year. More and more people are beginning to love disc golf. It is cheap, easy to learn, gives you some exercise, and you get to have a great time with friends in our gorgeous town.
If anyone would like to help in any area of local disc golf needs please get in touch with FCDGA. Sponsors, Land for courses, maintenance, and community outreach are just a few areas. “It is not who you were, but who you are that matters!†Please get involved and make a difference in the growth of local disc golf.
Danny Burdick
President of Fort Collins Disc Golf Association.
