I guess i grew up in a different world with the go outside, no seatbelts or helmets mentality.
My parents were sure to inform me of the dangers i might have encountered so i had that view of parks even as a lil kid.
Very good point. Ill even admidt that myself and friends have had to fight the battle on the homefront with wives and gf's when we want to take the lil guys out
I understand the need to keep up a reputable appearance, I really do, but we are trouble if we have to base our image upon impressing soccer moms.

Those two posts are a perfect example of the disconnect. The majority of disc golfers are people who are fairly laid back and are perfectly happy to live and let live. That's me, and that describes my fiancé who plays all the time as well, neither of us are complaining when we happen to see someone peeing behind a bush or having a beer while they play, or any of the other things we see on the course all the time.
Disc golfers don't have to impress each other though, our image amongst ourselves is completely irrelevant. It's the image we present to soccer moms that ends up mattering most when it comes to getting kids out to try the sport or in getting a new course put in.
Then we're in trouble. Who do you think goes to city council and parks/recreation council meetings? Who serves on those councils? Who is going to take the time to call about what they saw in the park that day? If it was just about how people view the sport then it wouldn't matter all that much, but when that view impacts current courses and future courses we need to keep that in mind.
Sorry about the breeders comment, meant to be more clever than derogatory. Simply a term applied to those who have children, but probably never should. Parents who are emotionally, financially and/or intellectually unprepared to bear offspring, then, when surprised at the commitment, think society should kick in and provide some assistance in the above arenas. Perhaps thread drift, not necessarily applying the idea to the OP, just an observation on peoples take of others behaviors and the impact on their children. Again apologies to an offence. Cool thread though.
So I can't take my shirt off on the disc golf course? AND tattoos are only on drunks and pot smokers? Why would anyone want to play disc golf if they are going to run into you guys on the course? Also, there are "beer leagues" in every sport.
Somewhat ironic, if the OP had gone to Barber park which is decidedly in a more ghetto area of Greensboro, his daughter would have mostly seen older white people getting out of BMWs and Mercs to play tennis in the main building.
