Let's make a new unwritten rule that all putts inside the circle have to be thrown between your legs. :|
hmmm... Like a long snapper or while facing the basket?
To say that a private organization as incompetent and inconsequential as the pdga owns the sport of disc golf is insane. Just because they purport to be the official rule makers and others reference them as such does not make them so.

Wrong. My problem is with Chuck Kennedy declaring that only the pdga can determine what "disc golf" is, as if they were the owners of the game as a whole.
According to Chuck, if the pdga chose to change the rules and only allow us to throw chickens instead of discs then that would be the only proper way to play disc golf because they own the definition. I find this hard to swallow.

So you're over-reacting to one guy's opinion like he speaks for anyone but himself? Geez.
The OP's issue was with people who, during an organized round where money was involved, were not playing by the rules. Just because Chuck didn't use those precise words you decided to make this big point to call him on it and present a number of absurd examples to make your point. I find it hard to believe that you don't know what he meant.
Like it or not, the PDGA is the arbiter of the rules of disc golf. If you choose not to follow them during a particular round is up to you, but if you don't follow them in a PDGA-sanctioned tournament then there will be (or should be) consequences. If you don't follow them in an unsanctioned tournament or a casual round and there is money on the line, then you had better hope that everyone who put money on the game agrees with your decision to not play by the rules. That's the point...
How can you be so obtuse? Is it deliberate?
Chuck isn't just one guy, he speaks like a quasi authority about the pdga rules all the time and people believe what he says.
