I just have to reply to this, the stupidity and contradictions in these posts are just too bad to ignore, despite the time they were posted.
Okay, first off you illiterate moron, where did I EVER say I would INTENTIONALLY throw a disc at a child?
right here
and if you cut my brand new disc in half with a boxcutter I would beat your a$$ and raid your bag, or just call the cops, just because someone does something you don't like doesn't mean you can destroy their property ya schmuck.
To be in the situation where he cuts up your disc, you would have to have thrown in on his wife and child, twice. So, by responding the way you did, you implied that you would have thrown in on them in that situation. Making you the

Look, Mr.FLX, What I was trying to get at is not, "Don't bring your children to the DG Course to learn the game." I was more of, "Why would you bring your children in strollers to a place that could be potentially dangerous for them?"
This bolded part is a valid concern. However, your original post...
you expect everyone on the course to sit around and wait while your stupid wife pushes around a stroller and your 3-4 yr old kids wander here and there while YOU play? ... I find that more annoying
is wholly selfish and makes you look like an inconsiderate prick. Who said his wife was not playing and just watching?
I just get very confused when I see a woman pushing a stroller around a DG Course b/c I figured it to be common since NOT to bring babies somewhere where they could be struck with an object that could cause serious physical harm.
Would you ever see someone playing ball-golf with their wife and kids being dragged around the course? I highly doubt it. There has to be some sort of respect for other players, like someone said, the taxpayers money pays for the course, well, I'm a taxpayer too, so why should I have to have my round interrupted due to someone else lacking any respect for the other players out there?
Again, trying to cover up your selfishness. Let's look at a few things here:
1. A Ball Golf course is exactly that, a ball golf course. It is a designated area set specifically and only for golfing.
now let's look at Acorn Park.
2. Well would you look at that, it says Park right in the name. Is it a course set aside solely for disc golf, and only disc golf? Do you have to pay a membership fee and have tee times? Is there speed of play guidelines? No, it is a
public park.
3. Let's take a look at hole 2.
Oh, what is that? A walking path? That can't be, it's a disc golf course, not some multi-use public park where disc golfers and other park users should be respectful to each other. Where are the signs saying that ladies with children and strollers shouldn't enter because idiots throw discs at them?!?! We need those signs put up asap! I'm guessing you are the type that would throw on that hole when someone is on the walking path. I know I am a good player, and my odds of crossing the path is next to none. Would I throw while someone is on the path though? Not without them waving me through. I would stand on the pad and wait for them to go over the hill if they were walking away, or get close to me if they were walking toward the pad.
4. How is your round interrupted? Can you not respectfully ask to pass them if they don't already tell you to play through? I've always had groups let me play through, unless of course they are waiting on groups ahead of them anyway, and passing them wouldn't result in faster play. Worse comes to worse, skip one hole and play it later if you please.
5. Regardless of their speed of play, or your attitude toward other people's use
your public park, nobody should ever throw onto another person.

To answer the OP. I've never had it escalate past "Not Clear!" that I remember. I actually almost yelled at a kid the other day during leagues that told someone to kick the disc into a ravine that just went zipping past us. We waved them through, he shot an errant shot and yelled "Fore!" to make sure we were paying attention still. The kid still wanted to kick the disc into a ravine.
