Frequently Asked Questions

The WWDGO is a non-profit Disc Golf Organization offering a network of support and sex based divisions for disc golf.

Our vision is clear and concise: Take back our voice for women in disc golf and foster a support system for the future. Women have always struggled to achieve fairness in sports. By launching our mission with WWDGO, women have started to speak about fairness in disc golf. We are creating an army of informed leaders in the disc golf industry. 

Sami Keddington is the founder & Board President of the WWDGO with four Board Members: Renee Kolbinger, Beverly Byers, Jacquelyn Rieser and Rosemary Leonard. Committee Members: Mark Ritner and Chris Leonard.

The WWDGO was created to support the ladies of disc golf. We plan to, support/train tournament directors, nurture the involvement of young women, create sex based divisions for all women keeping FPO inclusive. We are developing member and director resource portals to house tools that will benefit and help women succeed in disc golf.

WWDGO is planning fundraiser events around the World to promote our mission. Let us know if you want to host an event or fundraiser with WWDGO. We have the tools and support to make your event a success.

We launch memberships March 1st 2024. To support now there are options available. See Founding Member Page.

WWDGO’s first order of business is to protect women's divisions. We will also be offering Mixed divisions and traditional golf divisions. WWDGO is committed to being inclusive and respectful of all participants in the sport of Disc Golf Athletics. For the purpose of eligibility, members of WWDGO compete on the basis of biological sex classification. Since male sex confers physical performance advantages, it is particularly important to ensure that the female sex category is protected. 

We honor diversity, you will have the opportunity to Create your own Division. We have developed tools for you to use to get another division off the ground. Please keep in mind that divisions take years to develop and that this is an opportunity to make change.

The following guidelines will be used to determine the eligibility of all competitors of any age. 

i. An athlete born male must compete in the mixed or male divisions irrespective of identity.

ii. An athlete born female has the option of competing as male or female under the following provisions:

An athlete born female has the option of competing in the mixed or the female protected division. If she opts to compete in the mixed division her performance will be judged in comparison to the males or persons competing in those divisions. Once she makes this selection she must remain in the mixed division for one calendar year before returning back to the female divisions. In accordance with anti-doping regulations, exogenous testosterone treatment renders the female athlete ineligible to compete in the female division.”

NOTE: All athletes must be aware that they may be subject to doping control testing pursuant to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

When we launch memberships in March 2024, the price will be $50 USD.
