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.

2024 is the fifth year of the Aussie Disc Golf Day. The nationwide event was born in a crisis that turned into an opportunity which introduced hundreds of new players to our game and brought the Aussie Disc Golf community closer together.

This year’s event saw 455 players compete across 13 events all around the country from Townsvlle, QLD to Burnie, TAS and Newcastle, NSW to Perth, WA.

Thanks to all the TDs, clubs and volunteers helping to make these events happen. Congratulations to those claiming bragging rights in the 15 divisions. The top 3 in each division will receive a special ADGD mini. Find the full list of results at https://www.pdga.com/aussiediscgolfday/results/2024

20 years ago ADG formed and a graphic designer was employed to design a logo for the new organisation.

From those humble beginnings we have developed into an enterprise that has grown exponentially and faced challenges those pioneers could never have envisaged.

We are now on the cusp of an era where disc golf is established on the sporting and recreation landscape in Australia, where our players compete on the global stage and we host major international tournaments. From the discussions we had last year for the creation of our strategic plan, it was clear that we were about to embark on a distinctly new era. So when player Alex Brindle approached us with a new logo concept we saw an opportunity to enter the new era with a new look. Over the next little while you will see us transition to this new logo. Our original logo served us well and it will forever be associated with that pioneering era of establishing this new sport in Australia. But now we look forward.
