Whats funny is the perception that disc golf is being held back but in the reality of things is that it is slowly growing as a hobby, sport, game, or exerise for the regular working joes of this world. How many of thes regular chuckers have heard of Nikko, Feldberg, Avery, etc...
Its an illussion and opinion that people think that the drinkers, non-dress code,smokers, hippies, chuckers, etc are holding back the sport. Nothing is holding it back because more courses are popping up, tournies are having bigger purses, more signature discs are coming out, more companies are being formed from discs to clothing lines,and some areas have disc golf on public access TV. There ar no true facts what holds disc golf back but just opinions. Only change will show what works and what doesnt.
I dont look-up to the touring pros either but respect their passion for the game. Its what they enjoy doing and what they want to make money at but are trying to find ways to bring their income up with expsure with sponsors and tv coverage. One mans dreams can be another mans nightmare.
