I would like to have an option available at PDGA tournaments where I don't have to pay an entry fee. Here is my stance:
- I have no interest in a player's pack. I don't need a tournament t-shirt and standard issue DX Roc.
- I have no interest in winning disc golf gear. I have enough discs. I do not like having to go elbow to elbow with other AM's trying to grab at plastic after a tournament. I am satisfied with buying my gear online where I can pick exactly what I want instead of being subject to whatever happens to be available at a tourney.
- I have no interest in "padding" the pro purse. Why do I care if they make money when I'm not competing for the chance to win any?
I just want to enter into competition with people at my skill level. Why do I have to cough up $40 - $60 just to enter into formal competition? I am willing to pay for my once a year PDGA membership. If I do that, I should have the option to just simply sign up for PDGA events without having to pay any more $. Anyone else feel this way?
