Zero Masks, Zero Social Distancing...

Neat course, but Mcbeth, Brodie, and Foundation should really know better

and there is the truth....."most people"....not just disc golfers, but most "people". Pro disc golfers are no different than other people. Look around your community, how many people social distance and wear masks? There are states where masks are mandatory and yet there are still people that won't wear them. It would be nice to see them wear masks since they are appearing in a video....but, it's their choice - and did the state they played in make masks mandatory?

I get the frustration....I see it in my state of Arizona where masks are not mandatory. I don't wear my mask playing disc golf, but I do social distance. In the stores, I wear a mask. For disc golf, a mask restricts my breathing and fogs my glasses; so I opt to social distance as best as I can.

Disclaimer: I have ordered a different mask to try and see if that improves my breathing and reduces the fogging of my glasses.

Just an FYI if a mask fits correctly it won't fog your glasses as your exhalation won't be escaping up, but going out the front / everywhere through the material the mask is made of.

You likely know this, just wanted to mention in case others are reading who didn't. I'm a fan of ones that have a metal nose piece that can be bent/formed around your nose to provide a better seal.

As for Paul, Brody and company....they haven't been social distancing for some time if you look at Foundation's youtube channel.

I live in Arizona and found a neck gaiter that converts to a whole bunch of things...it provides UV protection and you can wet it and it will keep cool. So, as a bonus, in the summer, I'll be able to use it around my neck to keep cool......and keep from getting burnt.

Mine has the metal nose piece that I can bend to fit better. The mask has tie strings instead of the around the ears things, so I tie the top tie and leave the bottom untied to breathe better, but my glasses still fog up - not as much...but still annoying.

The trouble is that the annoyance of sometimes fogging, makes it less likely I'll wear it. Which is why I'm looking for something better. More comfortable = more likely to use it.

Nice, but my mask doesn't have the elastic that goes over the ears, it has four ties that you have to knot behind your head. It's an annoyance to have to tie/untie the mask over and over....so hopefully my next option will be more user-friendly.

Wearing a mask and fogging up my sunglasses has helped me develop muscle memory to keep my head down and minimize griplock throws. No desire to pop up and look at your target when you can't see anything.

Masks are for the sick. Not sick, no need for mask. I highly doubt people with radioactive pandemic flu will be playing a disc golf tourney. Don't care, won't care.

 

[R-Ogre]

The only fogging issues I've had were in an N95, glasses, and eyepro. No issues with the N95 and glasses. Really really no issues with a cloth mask. Wish we could all get N95s, they'd make an even bigger dent in transmission...

Are you speaking on behalf of the players or are you sharing your own opinions?

If the latter, then I'm confused by the "masks are for the sick" comment.

Is an infected, but asymptomatic, person sick?

When I say I don't care, I guess that would be like my opinion, man. If you want to wear a mask go for it. If you are sick I care if you wear a mask. If you aren't sick I don't care if you wear one or not.

 

[Monocacy]

If you aren't sick I don't care if you wear one or not.

How do you know if you are sick?

These players not wearing masks makes no difference for disc golf. DGPT is on Facebook right now celebrating the fact they had 17K viewers this past weekend. No one is watching.

It does make it less likely that I support them. They are not essential workers. Just selfish.

If you have symptoms or for whatever reason tested positive? Of course testing positive does not mean you ARE positive, the false positive rate is equal to the positive testing rate so the percentage of true positives is extremely low, but this is about courtesy so we wear masks after positive tests all the same.

But what if you are sick and contagious, but you don't know it yet because you aren't showing symptoms?
