About DGA
DGA (Disc Golf Association) is the founding company of the sport of disc golf, established by Ed Headrick in 1976. They are primarily known as the leading manufacturer of disc golf baskets, particularly their innovative Mach Series Disc Pole Holes. The company is dedicated to promoting the growth of disc golf by providing high-quality equipment to professionals, recreational players, park departments, universities, schools, and camps.
History
DGA was founded in 1976 by Ed Headrick, who is considered the "Father of Disc Golf." Headrick was a former Wham-O executive who had previously designed and patented the modern Frisbee (US Patent 3,359,678) in 1966. After leaving Wham-O, he established DGA to focus on building and inventing equipment for the sport he founded. His most significant contribution was the invention and patenting of the Disc Pole Hole (the Mach 1), the first disc golf target to incorporate chains and a basket on a pole, which became the standard for the sport. Before founding DGA, Headrick had installed the first official disc golf course in 1975 at Oak Grove Park in Pasadena, California, initially using permanent poles in the ground as targets. In 1976, he replaced these with his newly invented Disc Pole Holes, which dramatically increased interest in the sport. Following this success, Headrick left his position at Wham-O to start the Disc Golf Association. In addition to establishing DGA, Headrick was also the founding figure behind several key disc golf organizations. He founded the International Frisbee Association (IFA) in 1967, as well as the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) and the Recreational Disc Golf Association (RDGA). The PDGA was initially run by Headrick and DGA until 1982, when he turned over control to the growing body of disc golf players. Headrick also notably open-sourced his trademark term "Disc Golf" to help grow the sport. Ed Headrick passed away on August 12, 2002, at the age of 78, after suffering two strokes while attending the PDGA Amateur World Championships. According to his wishes, his ashes were incorporated into a limited number of discs, with proceeds from their sale going to a nonprofit fund for the "Steady" Ed Memorial Disc Golf Museum at the PDGA International Disc Golf Center in Columbia County, Georgia.
