Okay... So here is the story.
I went stick golfing for the first time in over a year yesterday and i noticed something that really bothered me.
We all know that stick golf is on the decline in America. It takes too long, and it's way too expensive. So, in order keep turning a profit, a lot of golf courses in Minnesota are adding foot golf (soccer ball) to their courses to bring people in.
The problem for me is this. When I asked what it cost for foot golf, I nearly crapped my pants.
$20 for 18 holes of foot golf! :thmbdown:
Now, I know we don't play foot golf here on DGCR, but another tactic that golf courses are adding to the mix is our beloved disc golf.
However, if they are going to charge $20 to play disc golf, I think they are in for an rude awakening.
Part of the draw, love, enjoyment of disc golf is that it is relatively inexpensive. And while I am in favor of occasionally paying a few dollars for an exceptionally good disc golf course (like Blue Ribbon Pines), there is no way in hell I'm going to pay $20 for a round of disc golf on a golf course!!!
So here is my question.
What do you think?
Would you pay $20 for a round of disc golf at a local golf course?
Is this good for disc golf or does it have potential to turn people away?
