lets see. womens pro open and mens pro open
Women can play in mens open, Sarah Stanhope does it all the time.
Oh and for the sexist dumbassery comments, the women's field has just as many REAL contenders as the men do these days...its not like there are 3 chicks and one of them is in a wheelchair and the other has a pegleg and the 3rd can throw 90'.
Lastly, I would bet that the top women would put almost every dude on this board to shame on the course and have you drying your tears on your mama's skirt.

cy - you are focusing on the wrong word. They are not allowed to play (as in compete), but they are allowed to donate if they would like.
There is no "mens" Open Pro. Only Open Pro, open to all ages and genders.
EDIT: Actually, it's just "Open". Every other division will have a modifier ie: Pro Women, Pro Masters, etc...

Exactly. This is why they get no disc. This is why the Pro Grandmaster champ gets no disc. This is why the Am Worlds champ gets no disc.

I wouldn't necessarily say Avery sucks... he does have his putting woes like 95% of disc golfers. But to say he sucks is a little harsh, he definitely has skill.

I believe the Women's Open winners at Worlds and USWDGC are given a special invitation to the USDGC every year. Granted if they go, they are assured donators.

Juliana cashed at the USDGC (only women to ever cash in MPO at a major).

For all the hype, I would say he doesn't measure up. People talk about him, like he is the greatest thing since Climo.
I'm not saying that he sucks in the grand scheme of things. He would certainly beat my ass, along with 99% of golfers.

I don't hear people talk about him like that. I just know that people like him because he's a nice dude and is a solid player with a cannon drive both FH and BH.
i met him in person and he is very down to earth and a blast to talk to.

I'd say I like him because he's exciting for the future of the sport a bit.
Alot of the "heros" of disc golf are aging and arent' the same kind of refreshment to the newer players who hope to compete. This is the same with all sports.
If all I had to look forward to seeing was people who act like Nikko out there, I'd have lost interest a while ago.
I like the brother/sister/mother/father disc golf family of the Jenkins and the fact that he's just a BEAST at FH and BH makes me love watching his drives.
In the end though, I still love feldberg the most. I would love more player stamps on discs, and I agree it's unfair about the lack of women endorsed discs. I'd love to see more women actively playing before they even it out, as I think putting women's names on them now would slow sales to the larger male population. Unfair? Sure is. Realistic? Absolutly.

I have never seen an Avery Jenkins signature Star Destroyer.. I see lots of Destroyers, but no Avery ones.

I think if there were more female signature discs more women would get into the sport. Ladies like discs that other ladies throw. Which is why the J.K. discs are popular among the ladies.
