The Colorado Mesa University Disc Golf Club was founded in 2017. With founding members being; Aaron Gossage, Jacob Payer, Landen Fledderjohn, and Nick Anderson. These four established the club as being one of the best from the get go. Finishing 17th out of 35 in their first year, the Colorado Mesa University Disc Golf Club continued to improve. The following year the Club jumped to 11th out of 36, and sporting their first all American in Laden Fledderjohn. Looking to fight for a National Championship on 2020 with all four player returning, their chances disappeared in early March because of the Covid-19 pandemic. With three of the four team members graduating that year, the club looked to the future with many new members going because of the pandemic. Going from five members to over twelve in one year. With the news that eligibility would extend an extra year for any 2020 graduates, the Colorado Mesa University Disc Golf Club was ecstatic. However, a key player had become ineligible. Aaron Gossage was pushing his game to new heights and had become a PDGA Premier Pro During the summer. The Colorado Mesa University Disc Golf Club sported three teams for the 2021 National Championship. Laden Fledderjohn earned another All-American honor, but the team finish had dropped to 31st out of 36. Which brings us to today. A new group of players have risen from the ashes and triumphs of their alumni, striving to accomplish the impossible with a National Championship win to make their predecessors proud.

Regionals require current College Disc Golf membership. Have you reached out to us? You need a team page and login before you can join and renew your CDG membership. After your join, your team can compete in any Regional event.

College Disc Golf events are organized and ran by volunteers that range from Tournament Directors with PDGA Major experience to students running their first events. There are two main types of events – conference play (league like play, more casual events) and Regionals (more competition focused events that require CDG membership and where you earn your invite to the CDGNC). All CDG Regionals are PDGA sanctioned and consist of at least round of team alternating shot doubles and singles play. More scoring and format information. Event format and layouts are determined by the TD for that event. Events can be one or two days. Find a qualifier near you – event map and schedule.

No, you do not need to qualify to compete. If you are interested in competing in Division 3 (DIII) or the Women’s Division, you do not need to qualify. Only teams interested in competing in Division 1 (DI) or Division 2 (DII) need to qualify.

To qualify, earn your invite by being one of the highest placing teams without a bid at any Regional on the schedule!

Step-by-step

Do you already have a team page on the site? If so, follow the steps below!

Step 1 - Player Page & Account

Every player needs a player page and an account.

Players, are you listed on the team’s page? If not, reach out to your team’s leader to create a page and an account.

Team leaders, login and navigate to your team’s page to create new players.

Step 2 - Membership

Regionals require a CDG membership to participate.

Players, do you see the current season’s membership on your account page? If not, there is not a membership assigned to your account. Reach out to your team leader to assign a membership or purchase one yourself.

Team leaders, players can purchase memberships individually or you can purchase them and assign them. To assign them, navigate to your account page and click the team name you’d like to manage. Using the same email that was used during the player creation process, you can assign players to the team. You can also share a link with them to access the team.

*Team designation/assignment does not matter for memberships. The teams on your “My Account” page are for membership purposes only. A “Team” will be created each time you make a purchase. Players do not need to all be on the same team, everyone just needs a membership assigned to their account.

Step 3 - Roster

Teams must submit a roster before competing in a Regional.

Team leaders, download and complete the roster form. You will have to submit the roster to your registrar for verification. Please plan accordingly.
