According to the directory, there are 3915 holes installed just in the U.S. in 2013. And that doesn't include older courses that added holes. At $300-400 per bucket, I don't see parks departments changing those out to accommodate a small minority.its not that big of a deal. all they would have to do is get serious with their course/tournament classifications and modify approved targets accordingly.
Thing is the smaller baskets wouldn't fly with scads of recreational players who constitute 99% of course usage, on the 355+ days of the year that there aren't any tournaments. Whose opinion do you think the parks departments have in mind?current baskets wouldtn fly with the NT etc.. not that huge of a impact
Meaning there will likely be an extended period of time where players will get to play on both types of baskets. Which one do you think they're going to choose?and slowly other courses change.
If they're not bad, then there's no need to change them out to accommodate an elite few.will the current baskets be the cones of today sure but that doesn't mean they are bad either.

If every hole in ball golf was a 200ish yard Par 3, most good golfers would have tons of Aces.
It's funny because I read an article a few weeks back that for the life of me, I cannot find, but it talked about making the size of the hole for ball golf bigger to appeal to more people because of declining numbers. The argument was the exact opposite. The game is too hard for some thus turning away players which I think would be the case if we made baskets smaller. I will keep scouring to see if I can find it. Interesting to say the least.
This is a stupid conversation.

The baskets to ball golf hole comparison is one born out of ignorance. ...
That's the whole point. The two "sports" are not the same. It's table tennis to court tennis.
You clowns are so easily led. Get out of your mom's basement, have a real experience, go actually play disc golf, instead of being keyboard kings. What's worse is I was warned about this grade school mentality, and I did not heed.
Eh, it's a differing mentality.That's the whole point. The two "sports" are not the same. It's table tennis to court tennis.

@ Jay Dub: A user named "Tom Monroe" reviewed Inverness Disc Golf Park a few days ago. If that's really him, how cool would that be to have Tom Monroe on the site?
