Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Disc Golf Association (DGA), has been in business since 1976. DGA coined and trademarked the term "Disc Golf" when first inventing disc golf and establishing the rules and framework for the sport.
What is your primary product or service?
Disc Golf Association (DGA), promotes the game of disc golf and manufactures disc golf sporting goods equipment. DGA’s primary focus is manufacturing permanent disc golf course equipment for installation on disc golf courses. DGA Disc Pole Hole disc golf basket targets are the primary targets used on disc golf courses. DGA secondarily sells disc golf accessories like disc golf discs, disc bags, towels and apparel. DGA provides support and guidance for the installation of disc golf courses and provides support for people and organizations running disc golf tournaments.

How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Everyone who works at DGA first became interested in the sport through "Steady" Ed Headrick, the father of disc golf. "Steady" Ed was not only the inventor of the game of disc golf but the founder of DGA. Disc golf was Ed's life and he dedicated his life to making sure his vision for a sport of disc golf became reality. Ed's magnetic personality and gusto for life and disc golf infected everyone who works at DGA directly or indirectly .
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
DGA is different then other companies firstly because we are the founding company of the sport and have the responsibility still to promote the sport DGA started. Secondly DGA has the honor of holding the reputation of setting the standards for disc golf targets. DGA Disc Pole Hole disc golf baskets are the highest quality disc golf targets available. DGA also differentiates itself from other businesses by focusing on a limited number of high quality and high performance disc golf discs. Other disc golf disc companies focus on producing large numbers of discs in order to drive their disc sales. DGA's primary business is focussed on disc golf baskets so DGA is able to spend time on targeting only the highest quality disc golf discs for our disc golf disc lines.
