Tex-So if I did join the PDGA I'd have to stop picking up trash, helping new players, giving random DG gifts to the needy, and generally stop caring about the course I call home? It is the people who make up the PDGA? You said it yourself, "The only ones of us that do belong to the PDGA are those that play tournaments (which we have to travel for)." Were they too not out there replacing signs, doubling chains? I'll bet they had a part in the sanding too.
I guess I want to be a Professional in this sense of the word:
Main Entry: 1pro·fes·sion·al
Pronunciation: pr&-'fesh-n&l, -'fe-sh&-n&l
Function: adjective
...characterized by or conforming to the technical or ethical standards of a profession (2) : exhibiting a courteous, conscientious, and generally businesslike manner in the workplace.
I never said anything about disc on ESPN. That would be great though. I would watch and so would you.
I wouldn't expect the casual gamer to even think about joining the PDGA, let alone someone who does not intend to play tournaments. Paying money to the PDGA for this player would be asinine.
I never keep score unless I'm playing by myself.
