About NZDG (New Zealand Disc Golf)
We are New Zealand Disc Golf (NZDG), the official national and governing body for the sport in New Zealand. Our core purposes are to support and encourage the growth and development of disc golf throughout the country, and to participate in national and international sports federations and similar bodies.
We are run by players for players. Our mission is to facilitate and support all disc golf activity and to provide increased support to local disc golf clubs and members of the Association. We are actively working to put in place the building blocks needed to support the rapid growth of the sport, aiming to establish the conditions for disc golf in New Zealand to realise its full potential.
As the governing body, we facilitate and support disc golf related events, including the successful and continually growing New Zealand Tour.
