I meant as far as personality. They are trying to curate this persona that clearly isn't them. They are kinda like the parents in sitcoms that go to concerts and embarrass their kids.

Everyone in disc golf, and golf, and mostly in society smokes weed.
Not even close to mostly everyone in society smokes weed.

This says it's 12%, and even if the percent has risen since this poll (considering the nightmare we went through in 2020), I don't think it would currently be more than 20%.

That is an interesting poll, thank you for posting it. I was more referring to my observation that pot smoking isn't limited to hippies in tie die, but cuts across all demographic categories.
And the image of hippies being timid peace loving dudes is false also, the hippies I have played with are as competitive as the next player when you put a dollar on the line.
...absolutely zero thread drift in this thread. :wall:
That was an effort to be facetious. I responded to his claim that a bunch of guys he doesn't know are "fake" by taking it to a completely absurd place. There is no one here who believes in a "big ball golf."I was more referring to Chris Woj's post that the local golf course sent out fake hippies to make disc golfers look bad, lol.

Only losers are users. I only just found out that this sport is sometimes associated with "stoners". Makes me rethink whether I want to continue with it.

I think the reason alot of disc golfers don't enjoy watching disc golf, is due to the physical addition of actually playing. This sport is highly tactile, to sit back and watch someone else participate in their addiction (subliminal addiction at that more than likely) has to send a negative response to some people. I love watching live disc golf. I always have to go out and throw after watching it however. lol...
There HAS to be a very high percentage of people introduced to frisbees at some point in their life. I have yet to show someone disc golf footage and at the least not have a conversation strike up about frisbees, frolf, etc. While the sport is gaining traction, we're also at the point where players for whatever reason, show very little personality diversity, so for a sport that has it's roots at the beach, we come across pretty bland to new non playing viewers. Our current live production highlights that all too well unfortunately.
When I heard this news I was blown away! This is wonderful of course for McBETH & great for DG pro level players.
But look at the growth of the sport, especially since Covid! It's BOOMING!
Five years from now Paul will regret agreeing to such a long contract!
This is exactly like the famous Scottie Pippen deal!!
Paul will be more than comfortable of course but watch what happens over the next few years with players contracts, they will explode.
