DO NOT MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO ANY COURSE ASSET WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM DISC GOLF ROCHESTER LEADERSHIP

Area courses have been modified this year by players who did not have the permission of DGRoc or the authorities in charge of the property, which is unacceptable and may even be criminally prosecutable.

Disc Golf Rochester works hand-in-hand with local parks departments and other municipal leaders to take care of over 20 courses for the benefit of our membership and all who use these public properties. The relationships built between our organization and town leaders are very important to the future of disc golf courses and events in the region, but are susceptible to damage when disc golfers go rogue. When public property is modified and/or damaged at the disc golf course that reflects on the disc golf community negatively. Regardless of whether the modifications are done “to help”, it is unacceptable to take action without coordination with town authorities – which is the responsibility of the Disc Golf Rochester Course Maintenance Supervisor – because even simple changes can put park users and/or staff at risk. As an organization our membership must build a culture of accountability and cooperation within itself so that we can continue to be trusted by local authorities to assist in maintenance and construction of disc golf courses.

If you or someone you know is dissatisfied with any aspect of a DGRoc course, these guidelines must be followed:

• Course Assets (Tees, Baskets, Signage)
  • Do Not Modify, Mark, or Damage Course Assets.
  • Report any damage, modifications, vandalism, or dissatisfaction to DGRoc via the Contact Us form.
• Course Maintenance
  • Follow PDGA rules of play for independent maintenance; If it is dead and unattached, only then may you remove it from the field of play.
  • Report any dangers or dissatisfaction to DGRoc via the Contact Us form.
• Course Design
  • Course Design is a very difficult aspect of disc golf. Satisfying all players completely is not possible and making significant changes takes a lot of time and careful discussion.
  • Report any dangers or dissatisfaction to DGRoc via the Contact Us form.

If you are found to be making unapproved modifications to a disc golf course your membership in DGRoc may be revoked and you may be referred to the relevant authorities for consequences at their discretion.
