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.’
The PDGA experienced a system-wide outage that affected the PDGA website, live scoring application, and event management tools on Saturday afternoon, February 24th for a little over an hour. The issue has been resolved and all systems were stable as of 4PM EST.
The PDGA technology team will continue to monitor systems closely throughout the remainder of the weekend.
