Don't get the title twisted. I mean no negativity towards our governing body. I am just speaking of how after 26 years of playing, I actually caved in and joined the PDGA. I am number 76148. If I joined after I started, I would probably be number 6000 something and would have some cool bragging rights but it is what it is. When I started at 5, it was just something fun to do inbetween school, baseball, and basketball. I never thought I would still be playing at 31 years old. Not being a memeber has never prevented me from enjoying the game until now. There is a tournament scheduled in September that I have been preparing for for a month already. Now, tournaments have never been a high priority for me. I have only participated in 3 in my life. But this one happens to be an A tier event and the PDGA rules state that all NT and A tier events can only be attended by current PDGA members. Hence the problem. But I did it. I pulled the proverbial trigger and took the leap and I feel great about it. I am hoping it lights a fire under me and makes me want to play more tournaments. Plus seeing what my rating is would be nice to gauge my skill level verses others. Now that one hurdle has been passed, I can focus on my future with the game. My wish is that it will make me take this a little more serious and get my head into it more. Wish me luck!
