About women and Disc Golf: Maybe we can get something out of this discussion. I´m happy to discuss about this topic with people who can bring value to this. Not interested of arguing so I will ignore those comments.
Few thoughts about getting more women to Disc Golf. I personally believe that we can get more women to this sport. So..
We should have women´s only events where all of the support (for example money) goes to ladies and the event. I´m not sure how much we should even use money as a factor to get more women at first place. There should be other reasons. Separate event for women is the most fair way to proceed with this thing. What I understand women´s only events have been successful and often much more attended than mixed ones.
Having MPO and FPO divisions on the same tournament creates always questions of inequity. Promoters, TD, and sponsors wants to promote their events with the biggest stars them being male players at the moment. Who should they film when they have limited resources? Etc.
Having separate events for FPO That would also help adjusting the course to the right target group / skill level. That would make the course more compelling to play (and the footage to watch too).
Thoughts about this?...... from jussi's page.
I think it a great way to grow the sport and future. It will help more open me cause there will be more room and for the women the whole tour and tournament will be a womens spot light. Women's only may also help the ladies side grow with having the ability to have more friendly courses and a full feild.
