The reason why I use a lower case "p" for the pDGA is I believe they represent us unprofessionally. After reading the Shive post(s) I feel even MORE convinced. Two great examples are the national websites focus is as a revenue stream or an information platform and the Disc Golf center in Georgia
I First started DG back in 98 after retiring form competitive soccer.
My experience of being a small business owner for more then 20 years now has taught me skills that I beleive my I opponent does not poses yet. From simple to complex marketing campaigns, (Laugh if you want but) personal relationships are also one of my strengths. As a residential Window Cleaner I am providing a very personal service to my customers. Honesty and integrity are critical to the success or failure of any endeavour that's the reason why I retain customers 15+ years. The highest form of professionalism is not just a referral but actually have them continue to use you when they move. A thick skin is also one of my strengths
As I said marketing and promotion are what we need most right now, How to bridge the gap between mainstream business and the Disc Golf community. Not just passing the hat. I would like to beleive that the current "What is DG" Tri fold sprang from the prototype I showed Theo back in the spring of 2001. I am currently working on a Revenue Stream project that will revolutionize DG

Our sport is growing by leaps and bounds most in a positive direction but some are negative. Our focus should be on identifying problems and shortcomings, solving them by not repeating them.
Long live San Dimas
