I thought Calendars went out in the 90's along with Pagers and Beanie Babies.

Pagers hung on until about 2000. Calendars are bigger than ever[remember, they used to be free from your insurance agent, vets organization, farm bureau, etc] . Haven't you seen Sarah McLaughlin's Abused Animals 2014 spread yet?

Pagers are still around, depending on where you work. I just got rid of my personal pager a couple of years ago.

I think the main objection people have is not that the girls aren't pretty enough or whatever, but that the ad is poorly done and is incredibly tacky. Disc golf doesn't get as much exposure as us hardcore players would like to see, so when something like this comes along there's usually a good supply of mild outrage to go with it. A swimsuit calendar for Disc Golf isn't a bad idea per say, but it needs to be handled with a bit more class to be accepted by the majority of discers. I do agree that the negative comments about the girls themselves are equally tasteless however. They certainly aren't ugly and it likely comes down to the fact that these guys didn't have the money to edit them like most magazines do to make them look like Barbie dolls.

On a side note, FYI, Holly IS a professional model and disc golfer, so she should probably be allowed some clout in the discussion when all is considered.

The fact that she is a model was why I commented. Seems like the kettle didn't like the blackness of the pot.

I disagree that the calendar needed to be handled with more class. No ones going to notice that calendar except us unless one of those girls get famous.

My wife is a hospital floor nurse. She still carries a pager at work.

The video was just horribly bad. Most the girls on the calendar look fine, but the cover isn't very well done either. And it pretty much seems to just be girls standing by a basket. They could have put a little more creativity into it.

I'd like to extend that logic and say that NONE of the low/no-budget productions that DG loves to churn out make the sport look attractive. It looks underfunded, which in this age means it sucks. This is how you portray a sport on the same level as sh!t-tier oil filters.

QFT!

The funny thing is, the people who did this are just plain dumb. Even if (and that's a HUGE IF) they were to make any kind of actual money on this crap they would get a fat cease and desist letter from the Walt Disney Company for their bad patch job on the SportsCenter intro.

i think the pro disc golf women are much easier on the eyes. would have rather seen them than these ratchets and chains

I like how they had to throw in the phrase "first run" to describe it. Like it's a disc or something. Come on man...

You missed the part about being both a model and a disc golfer.

...Holly IS a professional model and disc golfer...

I get the Krispy Kreme calendar every year because it has tons of really great coupons that more than make up for the $5 it cost. I eat lots of doughnuts.

That's all I can taste when I eat a Krappy Kreme. I'll get mine from the bakery down the street, TYVM.

This isn't disc golf or bondage. I am disappoint.

Ooohhhh looks like someone got final cut for Christmas...

Cheezy music, boring editing, skeezy girls and seriously one of the creepiest voices ever and on top of that he had a weird silence of the lambs reference... I just feel dirty having watched that
