The club celebrates the traditional start of the local disc golf season with our annual Spring Kickoff.

Saturday, May 11th
Bird’s Ruins DGC, Langer Park in Marshall
See the flyer for event schedule

Please note that the location is different from recent years, when it has been held at Hiestand. There will be a lot of great local disc golf events this year, and we want to spread them out to different courses.

The Kickoff also serves as the beginning of our club’s membership year.  The cost to join or renew is $15 ($10 for juniors under age 16). You will receive a bag tag for joining, which can be used all year long for the MCDG Bag Tag Challenge. The initial distribution of bag tags will be based on the results of the random-draw doubles round ($5 additional fee) played at the Kickoff. Anyone who joins at the Kickoff but does not play doubles, or joins anytime after the Kickoff, will receive the lowest numbered tag remaining. The rest of your membership fee allows the club to put on events and promote disc golf and other flying disc sports in the greater Madison area.  

We've changed our name from the Madison Area Disc Club, to Mad City Disc Golf. New name, new logo, same passion for disc golf.  We will continue to promote disc golf and other flying disc sports throughout Madison, Dane County, and beyond.  With your help, the club will continue to grow, allowing us to offer more events for members and the community at large.

Thanks for your patience as we update the new name and logo throughout our social media sites and web page. Keep using http://madcitydisc.org/ for now.

Join us for the Mad City Disc Golf Spring Kickoff on Saturday, May 11th, at the Bird's Ruins DGC at Langer Family Park in Marshall.

The Bird's Ruins disc golf course in Marshall was also closed today.  It will re-open as soon as the ground dries up enough.  If you haven't seen the news yet, our club's Spring Kickoff will be held at Bird's Ruins on May 11th.  We hope to see you there!

The Madison Area Disc Club is once again part of the PDGA Affiliate Club Program for 2013.  This means that MADC members receive a $5 discount on the price of their online PDGA membership renewal or new membership.  Members can receive the discount by visiting the Membership Page at the PDGA Store and clicking the appropriate link for New or Renewing members at the bottom of the page under "2013 PDGA AFFILIATE CLUB MEMBERSHIPS".  On the forms, look for the section titled "Affilate Club" and select "13 Madison Area Disc Club" from the pulldown menu.

PDGA members receive a $10 discount on entry fees for B-Tier and C-tier PDGA tournaments.  PDGA membership is required to play in an A-tier (such as the 2013 Mad City Open) or Major tournament.  Even if you don't play in a lot of tournaments, PDGA members receive other benefits and help to promote disc golf around the world.  For more information on PDGA membership, please visit the PDGA's Membership Information page.

The Fall Picnic is still on, even if it rains.  We'll keep monitoring conditions and modify the schedule as necessary, but we'll still have games, lunch from Ian's Pizza, the raffle, used disc sales, elections, and hopefully a round or two of disc golf.  Remember, we're at the "new" shelter at Elver, which has covered outdoor seating and a large enclosed room in which to escape the weather.  Registration starts at 9:00 AM.  See you there!

Reminder that elections for the 2012-13 MADC Board of Directors will be held this month, starting at the Fall Picnic on Sunday, October 14th.  Club members will be able to vote for candidates to fill two-year terms for the positions of President and Treasurer, as well as one-year terms for all three at-large positions.  Candidates have until this Sunday, October 7th, to declare.  Please see the 2012-13 Elections thread on the forum for more details.
