Disc Golf Association History The DGA was established by Ed Headrick in order to focus his attention on building and inventing equipment for the sport he founded. Ed Headrick coined and trademarked the term "Disc Golf" when formalizing the sport and invented the Disc Pole Hole' ( The Mach 1 ), the first disc golf target to incorporate chains and a basket on a pole. In addition to starting Disc Golf Association ( DGA ), Headrick founded the International Frisbee Association ( IFA ), the Professional Disc Golf Association ( PDGA ), and the Recreational Disc Golf Association ( RDGA ). He standardized the rules and the equipment for the fast growing sport. Ed open sourced his trademark term "Disc Golf" and turned over control and administration of the Professional Disc Golf Association ( PDGA ) to the growing body of disc golf players to run in 1983. Steady Ed Headrick, suffered two strokes while attending the 2002 Professional Disc Golf Association Amateur World Championships in Miami. He died in his sleep, August 12, 2002, at his home in La Selva Beach. He was 78. As per his wishes, his ashes were incorporated into a limited number of discs. The discs were given to friends and family and the limited remaining discs will be sold with all proceeds from the sales going to a nonprofit fund for the "Steady" Ed Memorial Disc Golf Museum at the PDGA International Disc Golf Center in Columbia County, Georgia.
