PDGA · Completed Project

National Tour Calendar & Playing Card Deck

While helping launch and market the PDGA National Tour, Dave developed collectible promotional products that put tour courses and top players in fans’ hands—merchandise that doubled as year-round marketing for pdga.com, pdgatour.com, and major events. These print projects were completed years ago; they remain a reference for the tour-marketing work from that era.

Circa 2006–2007

Historical print-marketing work from the early PDGA National Tour era—preserved here as project documentation, not an active product line.

2007 PDGA National Tour Calendar

Courses of the 2007 PDGA National Tour—a wall calendar built around National Tour and major-championship venues, with original on-course photography and event copy for each month.

  • Cover and monthly spreads feature tour stops from McNaughton Park (US Women’s disc golf championships) to other flagship venues across the country
  • Each month pairs a large course photograph with venue history, hole highlights, and dates for upcoming PDGA events
  • Calendar grids carry pdgatour.com, pdga.com, and the PDGA Store—keeping the tour visible at home and in shops all season
  • Designed and produced as a finished print piece (cover PDF, web-optimized spreads, and full calendar PDF)
