I doubt that the really rich folks are even giving our sport a second thought.It seems that the consensus is the rich folks want the poor folks out of the game. Unwashed masses....wtf.

All of us will be too old to play or dead before DG becomes as expensive as ball golf.
...So I say let it keep growing like it has been. Just don't try some dumb thing to make it seem hip or cool so you can try to blow the thing up; as soon as somebody who thinks they are being hip sees me on the course they will know THAT was a lie. :|

Poll fail. There's no mention of disc golf.
I would love for the game to grow in the direction of private, expensive, pay to play courses. I want tee times and guaranteed expertly groomed grounds. I would pay twenty five dollars a round for that experience. Or maybe a yearly membership fee of up to a thousand dollars for nearly unlimited use. I don't need amenities. I don't need leagues or tournaments. I don't need a course pro. I just want to pay to be separated from the unwashed masses.
When that happens, disc golf will have arrived.
