That's funny...I didn't receive a magazine. I did receive my renewal "packet". Does anybody know if only new members receive PDGA publications? Copy of the rules? Competition Manual? Don't get me wrong, I love my 2009 renewal bag tag. Just wondering how to go about obtaining some literature.

ANY issues with Memberships can be addressed by Addie at office@pdga.com

For 2009 the PDGA is bringing taking over the publication that PDGA members will recieve.
The "Flying Disc" magazine that members received during '08 will be only avail by subscription (if at all).

I am not sure when the 1st issue of the '09 PDGA publication is due.

I did email PDGA over the weekend, so hopefully I will hear something soon. The magazine that I got was Flying disc.

No response from Addie, yet. I emailed her before posting here figuring that she was the appropriate person...they must be having mANY issues.

I'm still waiting for a reply from 2005; issues and pdga go hand in hand

I signed up for my new membership a couple of weeks ago, maybe the 18th or so. I got my new member packet last friday. The magazine was not an additional option when I joined up, although I do remember seeing it when I was contemplating a membership in '08. I recieved: 1 PDGA stamped disc; a mini with member number; a PDGA sticker; member card; rule book; and a ballot. I didn't really read the letter too closely when it came to see if there was any mention about a magazine.

I got an email confirmation today saying that my renewal membership package was sent out today. I renewed like a week ago.

Geeze it was back on 11/20 that I signed up. Still no reply to my email either. I can't belive that you guys both got your stuff in like two weeks, and it almost has been two months since I signed up. They must have just missed me altogether.

My initial membership stuff took quite some time also. Be patient Grasshopper!

Wow it really makes me want to sign up. Sounds like it is poorly run. And what do you really get for your money? And you have to pay extra for the Magzine? sounds like a good deal.

NO you do not have to pay extra for the Magazine.
IF you want to recieve the Mag that we were getting this year...THEN you have to pay for it, since the PDGA will be taking over with its OWN publication that ALL members will recieve with membership.

NEW meberships are usually processed quickly, BUT there are alot of factors.
If you sign up at an event, then nothing happens until that TD submits your stuff. If they dont do it in a timly manner then you have delay.

Membership processed at the end of the year also take some time seeing how EVERYONE else is renewing as well.

The only thing "poorly run" here is your attitude.........

Hey I am not complaining about not getting my stuff! I just been thinking about joining and saw the negative things people posted. So get off my case!

topdawgy58 · #16 January 18th, 2009, 06:24 PM

I signed up for the PDGA this morning. I thought the $50.00 was a little steep to join, but I think it is real important to support the sport and support PDGA. I just hope the people are friendly towards a Newbie to the sport. Happy Flying

I renewed last night and they sent me an e-mail today saying my packet had been shipped. I waited a long time for my first one in '06, and like almost THREE MONTHS for my first Revo bag before that. Don't get too frustrated, it's worth the wait (especially if you get TWO)

. Also remember they're still the sports only governing body so this stuff will happen.

If we all went by the "naysayers" posts on the internet.

NOTHING would ever get done....ANYWHERE...not just in Disc Golf..

Welcome to the "Club"..

At least your expectations are low...

I finally received an email from the "membership" staff who advised me that there is no membership staff or department...thus the reason for the delay in getting any of my stuff to me for the past year. She did say that they were going to forward me all of the publications that I never received last year. I must say that it was nice to get some sort of response in the end.
