============================================

A Tough Decision

We’d like to thank EVERYONE who has supported the San Francisco Disc Golf Club over these past 12 months. No one could have anticipated the challenges that would be presented to our planet, our country, our city, and our club. Despite these challenges, our community grew, adapted, and continued to enjoy playing disc golf in Golden Gate Park.

Our membership grew to a staggering 444 people (+63 over 2019)! We were able to develop our relationship with SFR&P into a productive partnership. The support from SFR&P, coupled with strong member engagement, enabled us to get some great work done on the course!

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and state, county, and city health ordinances, SFDGC leadership has made the decision to cancel the 2021 Bag Tag Challenge. This tournament normally occurs on the 2nd weekend of January and serves to kick off our membership drive each year.

Your membership dues pay for course maintenance & improvements, club events, and allows the SFDGC to support disc golf tournaments and new courses throughout the region. If you would like to learn more about member benefits and how the club utilizes membership funds, please check out our website.

We have been discussing options for kicking off the 2021 membership year and issuing bag tags. As of January 20th, our region is NOT projected to meet the criteria required to lift the “Stay at Home” order through at least February 20th. We cannot promote any sort of organized play while the “Stay at Home” health order is still in place.

NEW FOR 2021: Women of SFDGC Tags

As previously posted in our Facebook group, the SFDGC would like to do more to support women disc golfers who are — or would like to become — members of the club. Introducing “Women of SFDGC” bag tags is one action we are taking to make space for and recognize the women disc golfers in our community.

• Issued in addition to the standard SFDGC Member tag (no charge)
• Serialized starting at #1
• Unique colors

Potential Mid-Year Bag Tag Event

If possible, the club will host an event later in the year when we are able to obtain a permit. The current concept would be to issue Commemorative Tags to players with the top scores. This could also be an optional tag round for anyone willing to pick up their tag at the end of the day. Currently, there is no way to project when this event could occur but we will let you know when we have more information.

While 2020 was a challenging year in so many ways, we are extremely grateful and proud of our disc golf community. We have demonstrated resilience, adaptability, and our bonds have been strengthened in many ways. We know big things are in our future and can’t thank you all enough for the support.

Sincerely — Your Club Officers,

Shawn Mercy – President
Chris Tirrell – Vice President
Steve Erle – Treasurer
Harper Alexander – Secretary
