Nominations Now Open for ADG Hall of Fame & ADG Community Awards

It’s time to celebrate the people who make disc golf in Australia so special.

This year, alongside the Australian Disc Golf Hall of Fame, we’re also recognising our community through the Tournament Director of the Year and Volunteer of the Year awards. Together, these honours allow us to thank the pioneers, the leaders, and the everyday champions who have helped disc golf thrive across the country.
