So some changes coming out for the channel. I will now be uploading smaller more frequent videos and combining them at the end of the week to make the audio podcast.

Lost in the chaos of the PDGA gender-eligibility policy announcement was the news that both Anthony Barela and Paige Shue are leaving Innova Discs and Dynamic Discs respectively. Where will they go?  

After months of waiting and hours of debate, the PDGA Board of Directors has ratified the gender-eligibility policy for the 2023 season forward. In 2023 transgender women will not be allowed to participate in the FPO division at Pro Majors. At the same time, the Disc Golf Pro Tour said it is adopting the PDGA guidelines for Elite and Silver events for the 2023 season.   The policy change is in part a result of the International Olympic Committee guidance that requires individual sports associations determine their own guidelines for transgender participation in their sport. Each sport has created different rules based on the athletic requirements of the activity.    

Natalie Ryan has started a legal fund, “to fight the anti-trans PDGA Policy.” In a comment Ryan said that all funds, “will be used for legal fees exclusively.” At the time of writing the fund had raised $4,178.   This change takes effect January 1, 2023.
