On Aussie Disc Golf Day we launched our Play It Forward program. This program is all about getting discs to new players. With the help of RPM Discs, ADG got 700 “Play It Forward” discs and sent them all around the country. These discs will be given to established players who can then pass them on to people they think would like to play. That person can then use it for as long as they like then pass it on.
We’ve all been on our local course and been approached by someone who is curious about the game. They’ll usually ask where they can get their hands on a disc; and this is where the RPM Play It Forward disc comes in. It’s not necessarily for you to throw, but to press into the hands of someone who is Disc Golf curious. Let’s call it a gateway disc to a healthy lifelong addiction.
The discs are RPM Tui’s with an Alex Brindle designed Play it forward logo. On the back is a QR code that links to our “Play It forward” page filled with good info on disc golf, how to contact their local club and how to find their local courses.
The program has been modelled on the successful initiative started by Jeff Brunsting of the Melbourne Disc Golf Club.
