Subject: IWGA World Games - Athlete of The Year - VOTE FOR KRISTIN
To: Charlie Mead <charli...@wfdf.sport>


Dear Friends - It is that time of the Year - IWGA Athlete of the Year Awards.

WFDF Disc Golf Committee and Board have nominated Kristin Tattar as the International Federations athlete of the year - and voting starts on January 9 at 12.00 GMT.

It doesn't matter if you are a Disc Golfer, Ultimate Player, Freestyler, DDC Tactician, Guts Fanatic or an Overall Flying Disc Disc athlete - please vote for Kristin Lätt(nee Kristin Tattar) and enable her to represent WFDF as the IWGA World Games Athlete of the Year.

Please accept my apology if you get this mail more than once - many of you are central to the success of Disc Golf in your country and hold more than one position. And rather more than less seems wise.

I am sending this as an individual - my role as WFDF Chair of the Disc Golf Committee ended on December 31 2024, with Craig Sheather elected to take my place. I will still act as Competition Manager for Disc Golf at The World Games in Chengdu so I have an interest in being able to promote our sport as strongly as I can. And one way of doing this is to make Kristin AOTY.

You and your members, staff and friends can vote every day - please DO so. Four years ago we helped Paige Pierce come 4th in an Award where Disc Golf was not even part of The World Games.
This year Disc Golf will feature at TWG in Chengdu, China in August. And by voting for Kristin Lätt (nee Tattar) you will be helping promote Disc Golf and highlighting the potential of Disc Golf being included in the Olympic Games .
PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ALL FRIENDS, DISC GOLF ASSOCIATIONS, DISC GOLF ORGANISATIONS, MANUFACTURERS, BROADCASTERS AND ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO CAN USE THEIR OWN PLATFORMS TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR KRISTIN.
THANK YOU...........
