DG the fastest growing sport?

[Stud Muffin]

I heard many people claim that DG is the fastest growing sport.

How tall is it?

You probably never played 18 months of competitive Chess, though. It's hard to understand if you've never done any mental competitions, but it is exhausting by the end of it. You can burn some serious calories operating your brain at a high gear for hours on end.

I played 4 years. Even beat a state champion in the 4-mover. He cried like a little biaaaaaatch, it was classsic.

As Toledo HS chess champ (1971) and tournament player, I can attest to the calorie burning from nonstop chess action. The blinfold games took the most effort though. Those who can play blindfold chess may not help their disc golf game but can definitely be an asset for 3D visualization for mental "what iffing" in course design.

I guess my thing is I just hate hearing how Disc Golf is the fastest growing sport that you never heard of!!! If you have not heard of it then it's not growing that fast and definitely not the fastest. :wall:

It all depends on the criteria used. It's definitely fast growing on a percentage basis. Then again, if the Snapching guys get 2 other players to play, they can claim 100% growth. But I suspect if you use the right criteria---sports with a national organization and a certain minimum size already---you can make an argument for "fastest growing sport".

Love that movie, did they ever make tongue of fury?

Well I really meant I just hate when people say that. Saying it is the fastest growing sport is fine but people need to leave out the"nobody ever heard of" line. Sorry should have explained myself a little better.

I play the Three Rivers courses and the hidden gem mainly.

Which one is the hidden gem?
