I scare women away apparently... I don't think I got registration open soon enough as I think many women had already chosen somehwere else to play. I also think that Slippery Rock might have scared them away. Either way, I wouldn't mind to hear from women, so that we can have a great event for next women's global.

Did you offer incentives? Less pay? Higher payout? Free meal? Caddies for the last round? I saw nothing that looked like you were trying to attract women. But , don't forget, Alanna is playing Advanced Men.

The biggest issue is the fact that the event did not cater to women. We just lumped their event into the Ironwood. Along with that and the fact that they have to play courses that aren't really women friendly. WGE should be at Knob or Schenley. And WGE should always be the focus. Make the women feel special.

I believe that out of town women are playing events closer to them (which is how it should be), while the Pittsburgh women (other than the few of us) are just non-existent. With Pittsburgh being the great city it is, and the awesome courses we have, I just don't understand why Pittsburgh doesn't produce any more women disc golfers.

I agree with Chris. Lori when you ran it two years ago 8 women competed. This year 1. There are women disc golfers in the Pittsburgh area , but incredibly few competitive ones. PFDS could do lots more to attract women for this event if they were willing to take a loss, of what if: Take HALF the entry fee from men , and put it into the prize pool for women. It is one event every two years , and we "lumped the event into the Ironwood" What did you expect?

I thought you did at Worlds. But Lori's right too. Woman aren't going to travel when there are so many similar events the same day. (Hermitage, Lancaster, Hunington WV ... ) Moving on. We have two years to figure out how to get local female disc golfers that normally don't do a tournament to experience the fun one day (Not TWO) in May.
