Plastic was not quite as availablein those days. Our so called course pro at the time seldom played the game and never returned phone calls. (He was eventually deposed.) It was in March of 1983 that a friend sent me a Discovering the World catalogue (thenoperated out of Davis, CA by Ron Kaufma.nn) and I was excited. I ordered a 50 mold, another40 mold, a 100 mold, a 40 mold for Lynne, and a new disc--the 71 mold. Also in this issue was an advertisement for the Professional Disc Golf Association. It wasn‘t until May that I decided to pay the $15 and became #2458. The first Kansas City Wide Open happened in June and it was my first ever pro event. As a 34-year old, I was intrigued to discover that a masters division existed for those 35 and over. As it was, I placed last and lost my Kitty Hawk Driver in a pond trying to get off an island in a 35 MPH wind. I was distraught. I went into thepond and stomped around, until I cut myself on a piece of glass. I was not a happy person. Just previous to thisevent, the PDGA had held an election on weight rules. At theWide Open, theyheld an vote on whetheror not to use the new weight restrictions. I rememberasking myself whether or not it was legal to have such a popular vote. Anyway,it was voted thatifyou bring it, you flingit. I realized thenthat as a "Pro", you paid your money and took your chances. Later thatsummer, Lyrme and I took a tour through Iowa, visiting disc golf courses in Council Bluffs, Ft. Dodge, Cedar Falls (first time I broke 50), and Keokuk. It was during thistrip thatthe idea occurred to me thatthere might be money to be made in promoting disc golf and selling its equipment. How we formed a club, ousted our local pro, how DGWN evolved, and how I became involved withthe leadership of the PDGA is anotherstory altogether. The point I want to make is always assume thatinformation you pass to newer golfers might just plant the seed of heavier involvement. Had my friend not shared his Discovering the World catalogue, the whole process of my involvementof the game would have been diflerent. So, share your written materials and your knowledge with new players. Your thoughtful generosity might produce a life long disc golf enthusiastwith somethingto contribute to the sport.naw~ Dlsceolwoddflom-Summotl99l 3 CHAIN LETTERS Thanks for the great mag.
