Ambition Petition

There is a petition for everything these days. I really mean that.

No doubt you've seen the petition making the rounds to get disc golf into the Olympics. Noble cause. I support it.

I ran across this petition randomly today. Not less noble. Just perhaps a little less thought out.

I don't live in a big city, by any means, but there isn't much money being thrown around in terms of advertising dollars for disc golf around here. I'm not sure that a puff piece on disc golf (which I know has already happened) will open the flood gates of ad revenue.

"The channel that decides to cover Disc Golf is going to open up millions of dollars of new advertising possibilities for their respective station. It will be a win win for everyone. So please consider covering Disc Golf in your local sports news reports."

God bless all seven of you who signed this petition. Even drops in the bucket can add up.

(HINT: Write your local Representative and encourage him or her to add disc golf to your state's elementary education physical education curriculum.)

Writing local representatives is a great idea. All the information can be found on EDGE's web site.

Even though it's unlikely, you never know what company is out there. There may even be an event that gets some ad time. Like you said, every little bit counts and we can use all the exposure we can get.
