On December 26, 2008, Zach Walker received notification from the PDGA that he was being suspended for one year, as well as an additional year of probation. Here is what happened: On September 27, 2008, at the Phoenix Ladies Open disc golf tournament, Zach was at the park as a spectator, encouraging his wife and friends as they participated in the event. At the conclusion of the tournament, group pictures were taken. During one of the pictures, Zach was standing next to the photographer and "mooned" the group. Here's the problem: Apparently there were kids present, along with someone else that had issue with Zach's actions. This act was not malicious, and certainly not intended to offend. Zach feels really bad that this even happened, but can't personally apologize because he has no idea who filed the complaint. Every PDGA event that Zach misses is putting financial stress on his family and his business. For the last seven years Zach has devoted all of his time to disc golf as well as helping fellow disc golfers. NOW IT IS OUR TURN TO HELP ZACH !! Please do one of the following or both... 1. Sign the online petition to help Zach get reinstated to the PDGA with probation only. 2. Write a letter to the PDGA in support of Zach. This petition will be submitted to the PDGA on or before March 27th, please get your signatures in before this date. Thank you for your support....

im hearing from so many of you who think this suspension is way out of line for what actually happened. behind the scenes im working on getting these signatures to the right people so they see how many people want zach back on the course.

im honestly blown away by how many people are backing zach right now. its clear the community sees how much he cares about the sport and this momentum is exactly what we need to show the pdga he deserves another shot.

I have known Zach for years and he isnt a bad guy. This is just hurting his family now. Time to end the probation.

Zach is a solid dude and always helps out at the course. This is ruining his livelyhood over nothing.

A full year is totally overkill. He made a mistake but everyone does stupid stuff sometimes. Give him a break.

This is ridiculous. A year suspension for a moon? The punishment does not fit the crime at all. Let the guy play already.
