I disagree. Interacting with these pros might be a part of "growing the sport"... but ultimately it is always about the money. Which means creating revenue. Getting views online is probably the biggest potential to create more revenue for the sport, other than people simply buying more discs. More views means more potential for advertisers which is always where the money is. Even in the big professional sports it is where the money is. How much does a 30 second ad at the superbowl cost? Millions of dollars for a short commercial.
So continuing to create better disc golf videos/tournament coverage will create more fans and more views. I still give credit to everyone that is putting on these tournaments at golf courses and trying to do best with what they may have available, but I think everyone would much rather watch all the rounds at Masters cup at the DG course as opposed to the golf course. Watching courses such as Maple hill is going to keep peoples interest way more than any ball golf course.
I've heard that comment continually. My question is, "what evidence do you have to support it," other than your opinion? We just finished GBO and the final round had the highest online viewership for FPO live ever, and the highest online viewership for MPO live ever. SO apparently people who watch disc golf watched in greater abundance than they have in the past.
Thoughts?
