Disc Golf Hall of Fame

Similar to most sports, disc golf has its own official hall of fame. In 1993, Laverne Wolfe founded the hall of fame and he was the chairman of the first board of directors. Wolfe also created a collection of memorabilia, called the hall of fame museum, which describes the history of the sport. The museum is displayed at many major tournaments, but in the future it will have a permanent home at the Augusta National Disc Golf Center.

To be inducted into the disc golf hall of fame, existing members of the hall of fame nominate members of the disc golf community. Disc golf fans have the opportunity to vote for a nominee on the final ballot through the People's Choice Nomination Selection. Hall of fame inductees are judged by their favorable standing and having an honorable reputation within the disc golf community. To be eligible as a nominee for the disc golf hall of fame, you must have at least 15 years of service to the PDGA. Probably the most recognized member of the disc golf hall of fame is Ed Headrick. After all, he did invent the flying disc as well as the pole hole.

Currently, Al Guerrero is managing the hall of fame and authorized this web site which has a lot of information about the disc golf hall of fame. 2004 inductee, Marty Hapner, hosts the site too. If you are a true disc golf fan, you would appreciate all the hard work the disc golf hall of fame has done to preserve the history of the sport and recognize those people who have made an impact on the disc golf community.
