on the form there is a drop down box that lets you select an Affiliate Club. It is under the Affiliate Club section of the form

Sam if you scroll down a bit on this page you will see a drop down menu that has a list of current Affiliate clubs. Just click on Stumptown, and you should be good to go. It worked fine for me when I renewed last week.

Words like supposed to are often misplaced, are you suggesting that the affiliate benefits of the club are proprietary to the club?

I guess in the past the clubs would collect memberships and send them all in one packet and the club could keep the $5.00 per person but I don't think that was the intention. I believe the affiliate club program was a way for the PDGA to could encourage golfers to engage and support their local clubs. By joining a local affiliated club the PDGA would offer a discount to that person. Since players can now sign up online on their own they see the discount directly.

times change I guess. I was told directly from the PDGA a few years ago that the club should keep the $5 to be able to provide more to its members. There seems to be more benefit to the game of disc golf if the club got the $5 rather than the individuals saving $5... that's just me..

Yes but if a player is joining a club then they are already investing in a local disc golf entity. Why would the national discount not be a good idea to grant to the individual?

100 individuals get $5 off their membership, $ gets spent at lunch at MCD or something unrelated to disc golf...

100 individuals $5 discount goes to club, club has $500 to spend on disc golf...

That's just my thinking, if it goes to the club, money stays in disc golf, individual gets it, no guarantee it stays inside disc golf..

That's just my thinking...

Its a perk we offer to our members.

If we kept the money, it wouldn't be much of a perk.

I do, however, get your point.

Snap is indeed correct. The original intent was to help out the club and let them use the extra cash to benefit the club as a whole. However, the PDGA does not dictate that the club has to do it this way. This may change in the future...

Do members of affiliated clubs still get to take the Officials Exam for free? If so, who is the Stumptown contact for access to the exam? Thanks!

According to the PDGA there was not enough support at the Board level to extend the PDGA Officials Exam exemption to PDGA Affiliated Clubs.

However, if you are a TD for a tournament, you get to take the test for free! Whoot! Be a TD!

I could see this being handled when the PDGA did not take online registration and clubs would send in all the registrations in a packet but with online registration for members now in place for many years it seems unlikely that the club would see the $5.00 unless the PDGA still collected it and mailed a check to the club!
