Do ball golfers stop because, as beginners, they are 30 or 40 over par?
Ball golfers also have a lot more put into ball golf. If I got interested in ball golf and went out and spent the money for clubs, balls, maybe a course membership, I wouldn't give up as easy either. Plus its a more out there sport that people are more willing to try. I have friends that I can't even talk into playing disc golf because they've never heard of it before and think it sounds stupid (yes, they're dumb. I don't know why I'm friends with them, lol).
The nice thing about golf is that all they need to do to make the course harder is to not mow the fringes/2nd cut and 3rd cut for a week or two, and place the cups in harder spots and their done. Longer tees can be used too. To make a Gold course in DG is a lot harder (and our budgets are much smaller).
Indeed. I don't keep up with ball golf (or any sport really), so I hadn't put any thought into how ball golf makes the courses harder for appropriate events.
