Honestly I thought this was pretty funny. And wasn't sure it was real at first.

I think if we've learned anything than it's that a few more posts from you and it will be well on it's way. For whatever reason you've got the kinda, anti-midas, touch around here.

Oh no -- not a bikini calendar. We'd be going down the same path as motorcycle mfg., car mfg., swimsuit mfg., every mfg in the history of mfg.
The "disc golf calendar-girl tournament" comes to my town sign me up. Put them in golf carts selling beers please, I have $$ and I'm not cheap.
It's little wonder women run from disc golf like it's forced labor. Why don't you noodniks pick on someone other than the models, that's just mean.
Holly -- I don't know you but really? Our little teeny tiny game is cheapened by this calendar -- really? Seems like anyone trying to make it as a model has to get their picture out there as best they can . . . ?? Maybe there's a model in that calendar gets a break from this that leads to bigger/better projects -- stranger things have happened.

That was a very misleading thread title.

I had to watch it again to make sure it was actually real. Am I missing something or is disc golf dominated by the Mountain Dew drinking Xtreme crowd? I have yet to run into these people. Who the hell does Gripit TV think they are appealing to? Seems like a bad case of not knowing your customer base.

Median disc golfer age is 32. Too old for this shlock.

They're called cages.
With a name like "GripItTV" [which sounds like something from the back pages of Hustler], I'm not sure that's possible.

You want to do a girly calendar ? Put them in summer clothes actually playing. I have no philosophical problem with the idea, but swimsuits are just silly in this context.
Someone's been watching too much Expert Village.
I think the main objection people have is not that the girls aren't pretty enough or whatever, but that the ad is poorly done and is incredibly tacky. Disc golf doesn't get as much exposure as us hardcore players would like to see, so when something like this comes along there's usually a good supply of mild outrage to go with it. A swimsuit calendar for Disc Golf isn't a bad idea per say, but it needs to be handled with a bit more class to be accepted by the majority of discers. I do agree that the negative comments about the girls themselves are equally tasteless however. They certainly aren't ugly and it likely comes down to the fact that these guys didn't have the money to edit them like most magazines do to make them look like Barbie dolls.
On a side note, FYI, Holly IS a professional model and disc golfer, so she should probably be allowed some clout in the discussion when all is considered.

i was really hoping for a slo-mo montage of them scrubbing the chains with a soapy sponge
Damn it. You beat me to it. :clap:
We don't call em cages around here. Baskets maybe, but cages would be some pretty unusual slang. :\

What do they really mean when they say grip and rip?
