Todd Lion has been promoted to Deputy Director of the PDGA Event Support and Training team.
While the majority of the disc golf world was watching James Conrad’s shot flying toward the basket at the 2021 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships in Utah, Todd Lion was looking back down the fairway.
That was the moment when Lion, then a member of the PDGA Events team, realized how he looked at disc golf.
“I realized how seriously I took my job when I was standing on the 18th green of the Fort when James threw in the Holy Shot,” Lion recalled. “My first and only thought after he made that throw was ‘oh no, these people are going to mob the fairway.’
In 2024, all players must keep their own official score in all sanctioned rounds, and all players must submit their own official scorecard. This is a significant change from previous years. This document aims to provide guidance for TDs and players on how to navigate the new rule. Generally, this document addresses a sanctioned round in a singles playing format. See the International Program Guide for exceptions to the applicability of this rule, which is mandatory in the US and Canada and highly recommended elsewhere.
