This. And you get stroked if you're standing closer to the basket than the thrower.
I would love the risk/reward of costing a stroke if your disc doesn't touch their's. Hard decision whether or not to "defend."

discs with a small GPS chip would be awesome. could track a lost disc and show exact distances of throw. would integrate with phone. I envision it kind of like the running shoes you can plug in after your run to load data.
Shoes
A boom in scholastic competitions.
Collegiate disc golf is small but growing quite rapidly now. High schools to come, as a club-level sport.
And youth leagues.
Multiple man relays where we could see how fast that a single disc could travel through a course would be cool.Also wanted to mention, I'd like to see a rise in popularity of speed golf. You don't keep score on a hole, everyone is frantically throwing and running to be first in the basket. If you're first in the basket you get a 1, if you're second you get a 2, and so on.
A major shake-up in the PDGA, or the emergence of a parallel organization, to promote, guide, and officiate what DavidSauls said.

I'm still campaigning for the exciting "defense with a disc" version, where you can play defense but only by throwing a disc at your opponent's disc, ground-to-air-missile style.

David Sauls was right on with Scholastic/college level boom. (ok, a slow rumble... not a loud boom)
Growth in smaller colleges, community colleges, lower division NCAA. Trickle down to some high school leagues.
Rise of fee use disc golf - which in turn will allow us to overcome the track record that clearly tells us why "we can't handle nice things"

Great stuff!The biggest change will be in growth, like David said. Growth, and legitimizing the sport. Disc golf may catch fire in areas of the world where it is currently non-existent. Broadcasting will also play a major roal in this, as has been mentioned.
I don't think any equipment changes will matter much, in the grand scheme of things.
