Please send the PDGA them some firm but polite feedback about their new (crap) site. I have been hammering them hard. I am pissed about paying for a 5-year renewal, and then losing one of the greatest benefits of membership - a good web site where I can search for Events, Ratings, Results, etc., in a powerful and meaningful manner. And I am sure to let them know frequently. In fact, if they don't bring back the Advanced Search on the Schedule soon, I may consider asking for a refund on my remaining years. Every single "enhancement" on the new site does me no good at all. I don't care about fancy graphics (they just make it harder when on a mobile phone or slow connection), or related advertisements. I wasn't concerned about security, all my PDGA stats are public knowledge anyway. I assumed they already didn't do anything foolish like store credit card numbers on web servers.

Well I signed up for my new PDGA membership on 11/20, and I am still waiting. The last response to my inquires was that a reship order was put out for my packet, but that was two weeks ago.

The only thing I can think of that might be holding things up is that there are probably many people who are renewing their memberships this time of year too. I did mine last year around this time and got everything in about a month.

The good news is that in July you'll probably receive 5-6 packets.

I got an email yesterday that my package is being shipped, i renewed a week ago. They said every wednesday they refresh the membership status of everyone. I hope it is actually being shipped.

[LJ Jubner]

Good Luck!
I was just sent an email that I owed $115 from last years CSI. A whole year late and no documentation about the money just that I owe it. Talk about a quality organization. Solid business and accounting practices and lots of apologies. Apology heard but not excepted. We are paying these people to not make mistakes and when they do I have to pay. pDGA provides bill, No avenue for recourse or appeals just toby McGuire. (Show me the money).

And you wonder why I am disgruntled with the pDGA

[LJ Jubner]

Additional thought The P stands for professional but it doesnt seem to apply to the paid staff. I guess the dynamic succeeds or fails from the top. And clearly there needs to be some review about that.

You've identified a problem that obviously is important to you.

Now, what are you going to do about it? Take action, or keep bitching?

[LJ Jubner]

Clearly, Take action! Just wanted to share the type and quality of service you can expect from the pDGA. I find it interesting that They pDGA got the report and was paid within a week of the event and somehow this money fell through the cracks. Now, I am being asked to recreate it one year later. Quality service, NOT!

I know where $75 of the $115 is A membership renewal check that was made out to the pDGA that I had to snail mail. At the time I was out just the cost of the stamp now I am donating this players fee's.

So here it is If you come to my event and are not current. I will not take your renewal, You will be charged the $10 fee and you will have to sort it out nationally yourself not me!

Lets break this down...

You say $75 of that was in a check to the PDGA.......

That would suggest that the "Check" can be traced....

Was it ever cashed?? or was it truely "lost"??
Why would you think that YOU would be responsible for this "Check" if it was "lost"??

All you did was "transfer" something you collected from a player that renewed, right?
If it was "lost" then THAT player would either have a "Cashed" check or PROOF that it was never cashed.........

Quit your crying... and admit that you NEVER sent it in in the 1st place.....

[LJ Jubner]

Thanks Mags for your insight
I supplied the pDGA with the same info and am awaiting a response.

Yes! the check is traceable and is being chased as we speak. That does not mean it can be cleared up though unless the pDGA has better books than I think they do.

I am appalled at the lack of professionalism in regards to the bookkeeping at the pDGA. An entire year and not one invoice or inquiry. I wonder how many others have had similar experiences.This is the second instance I know of that this has happened. The other was the 07 Jet Wash.

Jimmi sent in the paperwork and than a money order. A week or so after the Wash. A month later after players complained about no ratings He followed up. First the Un-professional DGA emailed that they had the work but no check, then check but no work. Finally they found the deposit slip with his M/O and credited the account current. Two months after the event. All the while his reputation is being ruined because of their incompetence. Fortunately my rep is shot anyway so It's "just par for the course" for me.
