my father is a scratch golfer, and i presented this idea to him. he said it was irrelevant, and speculated that disc golf needs to be on television to be popular. he said that nobody cared about golf until they started televising tournaments. even if the stereotype is that watching golf is boring, it still gets watched, and the sponsors throw money at it.
anyways the poll is still open and im sure a lot of yes votes will come in this monday when all the squares are sitting in their cubicles.
I used to play competitive golf, I completely agree with your father. I also won't watch golf on tv, because I find it boring.
FTFYI know at Worlds they do the thing where all the countries have a rep that carries their flag...maybe right before the Hall of Fame ceremony? I don't know if they play anthems though. Japan anthem, Kimigayo, is also one of the world's shortest national anthems currently in use.
FTFY
I would play the anthem at each event if i had a practicle way of playing it. I guess i can jack up the volume in my truck and leave the doors open, but that's pretty cheesy.
My guess is also that the logistics of playing it means it isn't worth while. Hearing the National Anthem from a portable Bluetooth speaker doesn't have the same bravado as playing it on the PA at a stadium especially since many of the spectators probably won't be able to even hear it. It might be a nice gesture if the course had a PA or something, but any practical way to play it before the tournament would be super cheesy and probably have a negative impact than a positive one. It's the kind of thing you have to do right for it to have the correct meaning.I would play the anthem at each event if i had a practicle way of playing it.

...IF there was a large gathering in the beginning of an event I think it would be nice...

If only there was something like a player's meeting or something where everyone gathers before heading to their assigned tee...
At an A-tier I played in Oklahoma a few years back, they actually did the Star Spangled Banner on an electric guitar. Probably the only players meeting I've been to in an empty swimming pool.
