United States Amateur Disc Golf Championships
This is a list of United States Amateur Disc Golf Champions, that is, all the men that have won the United States Amateur Championship of the PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association). The USADGC is held annually at the famed Toboggan Course at Kensington Metropark, north of Detroit, Michigan, in Milford, Michigan. The winner of the USADGC is given an automatic berth to the United States Disc Golf Championship, held in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The event has been held since 2002 in this format, with the winner frequently being picked up by Discraft, a disc manufacturing company out of Wixom, Michigan. Currently the record for margin of victory in the USADGC is ten strokes, held by David Wiggins Jr and set in 2010, Wiggins Jr also set a new record for total number of strokes under par (20). Todd White was the tournament director for the event from 2002 through 2008, after which he stepped down.

“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”

You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
