Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_golf_clubs) has a disc golf article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_golf_clubs) listing clubs. There are not all that many listed there. It's a nice opportunity for a link to your club's home page.
For those who don't know, Wikipedia is, it is an open encyclopedia to which anyone can go and read, but also click a button and make changes to the content of the article. It's really very easy.

Just to also let you know...
Someone is editing the page and taking out some of the golf clubs.
I added a part on beginner disc selection that said which discs would be great for someone starting out playing disc golf...
well that whole section got taken out...and other sections that were pertinant to disc golf were taken out too

That's frowned upon in the Wiki community. There should be a edit history that tells you who is removing your edits as well as a reason for doing so. I have seen people get toungue lashed for editing stuff that they didn't put in.

You mean information like this:
I removed the "Beginner Disc Selection" part of the article as it seems to go beyond the scope of what an encyclopedic article is (and it's written in first person). Below is text I removed. If anyone wants to revise it to be more relevant and reinsert it--be my guest. --Daveswagon 21:01, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

No, that actually sounds like the courteous thing to do; that is to admit to removing it, give a good reason why, then save it so that it can be replaced if desired.
I was refering more to anonymous edits. I saw one instance where someone repeatedly did just that and the author was posting messages asking them to stop.

He wasn't saying that. He's saying that it needs to be more like an encyclopedia article instead of personal advice from you on beginner disc selection.
