My one piece of advice for inexperienced players at random doubles is never apologize to your partner for being bad at disc golf.

You are totally misreading and/or misunderstanding what I was trying to figure out. I never said or suggested things you seem to be attributing to me. Not sure of your motivation. Anyway, I'm good now. I just didn't know how it worked being so new to the sport, probably should have kept it to myself.I dare say your perspective is pretty out of touch. I suggest you stop worrying about other players. Most of us that play, do so for the competition. But, we don't feel entitled to a good result. We are not owed success. I suggest going out and making joy out of competing against the course and your own game. See where the results get you and revel in the success of your card-mates and your progress. MA4 is for players with a rating under 850, not a rating under yours. NOBODY should ever feel bad about playing their ratings.
probably should have kept it to myself.
I'll agree with others who have advised you avoid random dubs. A lot of ladies I know have been encouraged to play draw dubs only to have their random partner throw a tantrum and leave. I doubt a 600- minus rated player would have a good experience. Just stick with casual play and maybe some singles minis if you want to try and get carded with some better players and try to pick up some skills from watching them play. Tournaments are too expensive.

Those are most likely the meathead misogynists who think you're "pretty good for a girl."
They don't represent the game, or the golfers, that I know. :shrug:
I don't mean to seem like I've only had bad experiences from guys' behavior. There's a reason I haven't played a tournament in 7 years, and if I ever play another one it will be a men's division.

Don't stop asking questions. As you can see throughout here - you got plenty of authentically helpful answers.You are totally misreading and/or misunderstanding what I was trying to figure out. I never said or suggested things you seem to be attributing to me. Not sure of your motivation. Anyway, I'm good now.

what if you don't have a rating?
Recreational - available to amateur players of all ages with player ratings < 900. For players who have played 1-2 years and are gaining consistency and experience. Throw 200-300 feet, make 4-6/10 putts from 20 feet, learning different shots.
