As to the scope of things, King County is more of a general guideline, in my eyes. Like White River is technically in King Co., but I think they're more in the the Steilly and Riverside scene, and that's fine. I'm thinking the Seattle metro area, which is kind of hard to define, but I would say as far as existing courses go, from Seatac up to at least Terrace, if not Lake Stevens and Arlington, would fall into that area. I think as far as naming goes, it would be good to have something that wouldn't be confused with other clubs ("Are you the Judean People's Front?" "F*** off, we're the People's Front of Judea!" ). I've heard Lowell refer to the existing club as "Seattle Disc Golf Club" and also "Seattle Disc Golf Players' Association." Just tossing around ideas in my head, I was thinking something along the lines of "Emerald City DGC", but that's something that we all could brainstorm on later.

I definitely want to do as little toe-stepping as possible as far as the established status quo goes. Really though, besides work parties getting done, I see very little happening on any sort of organized basis. The only "club specific" activities that come to mind are the monthly acepots at North Park/Terrace and Lakewood, and the annual Seattle Disc Golf Club *ahem* Championships. I personally wouldn't have a problem with these events still happening if people still want to run them. It would be my hope that any existing "clubs" or likeminded locals, as it were, would want to jump on board and work together for the greater good.

Well, we certainly couldn't take Scott's advice- the Seattle Area Disc golf club would be sad... oh, I crack myself up.

Back in the late 70's there was a seattle, or should I say a n.w. club that was called the olympic windjammers, anyone old enough to remember?

I second Jub's suggestion to use Puget Sound Disc Golf Association.. That way we cover more and get more people involved!

Sounds like you're going to be treading on Mafia turf. Best watch your backs.

i dont think that "puget sound" should be used because that phrase covers a lot of area. olympia is part of the puget sound, and we already have a club, same with tacoma.

what about having a "techinical" name like Seatle Disc Golf Association just for legal purposes, and then call yourselves the Emerald City Flyers. or something like that.

for instance our club is "officialy" name South Puget Sound Disc Golf Association, but we go by TEAM OLY.

the coolest name by far is The Seattle Disc Golf Mafia though!

Upon further reflection,

Why not a state wide association?

Each Major club/ course has a rep, board of directors, bylaws, Financial transparency. Internet information site

Then we could incorporate under one roof, get our own insurance coverage for all affiliated clubs24/7, 365. Promote and Manage the state series. Promote the installation of courses and events throughout the state. I also think that the SC should be on the board but not it's head, he has enough to do already.

I would like to offer the W.D.G.U/A. as a name or A/U.W.D.G.

I think Jub's idea has some merit, too. If not a statewide club, then maybe a sort of yearly (or bi-yearly) meeting with all of the club presidents to see what is going on in each region of the state. I don't see how more communication between factions could be bad...

this is a great idea! it has already been talked about with the West Sound Disc Golf Assocition. paul wright is the current president. tacoma is into this idea and oympia is into it. it would be good for everybody if we all could agree upon it.

who is SC?
