I think they had the right idea, honestly. Most of these disc golfers don't even own houses to put their trophies in anyway. And the ones that do probably don't care that they won a trophy anyway. How much room do they have in their vans for trophies?

I don't disagree with any of this except maybe the first sentence. It seems like the right idea might be to just not have a trophy at all.

I am working on a couple of courses for James Conrad's Dad and stay in an apartment in their basement sometimes when I go down there overnight. Guess what is in the laundry room...

Lots of dirty laundry?

There has to be something in between "big, expensive trophies" and "custom disc"

Trophy Disc.

The Prescott Disc Golf Club in Arizona gives out a disc to the 1st place finishers for their major tournament (Watson Skip). But, the disc has been made from wood and this year it was made from metal. Pretty cool and there's always comments about how well the trophy disc will fly. One of the other places was a glass mini-marker. I forget what the third one was.

((I'm not aware of anyone who has actually given their trophy a toss)).

Ah, the place for NFTs in our society.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Trophy Disc.

Our own Martin Dewg does just that:
Treasures of the Forest

Hand turned wood/resin trophies

No comments on the trophies yet? Ok, I'll start: those were super lame.

Were they playing for trophies or money?

I get those confused sometimes.

Like I said in a comment on this thread, maybe just not having trophies would be the best idea. My brain is able to think "that trophy is pretty lame" AND "trophies are pointless" at the same time. I hope that doesn't confuse you.

Maybe go back to presenting a giant first prize check, I mean giant PayPal deposit ticket, at the awards ceremony on recyclable paper.

Was the payout more "top heavy" in OTB open?

3d $3200
4th $2500

Jonesboro had
1st $8500
2nd $5000

So 1st and 2nd got more in OTB, 3rd more at Jonesboro and 4th the same
