It's a "careful what you wish for" scenario. People love to play in A tiers and come home to tell stories about hanging out with top pros. You hang out with top pros becasue they show up at A tiers to earn some cash. The sport isn't big enough to support pros with a separate set of events for pros only with us as spectators. You get to go to A tiers and be a peer to McBeth becasue he is gofing and you are golfing...it's part of the vibe people love about disc golf.Word. I agree. The question is how can we accommodate the PMs and RW's in a sport in a way that is feasible givie the lack of revenue in disc golf over all? That's a very tough question.
Get to a point where the sport can accommodate someone with the talent of McBeth, and that will be gone. That little sport vibe where we were all in this together becasue we are disc golfers and there are so few of us that we need each other? Gone. Those events we like to go to becasue you get to hang out with sponsored pros? They won't have sponsored pros at them anymore.
Basically making disc golf into the kind of sport that will accommodate the PMs and RWs will fundamentally alter what we have and take a lot of what people love about this sport away. Is accommodating the PMs and RWs worth it? Depends on who you ask.
