A speed limit sign isn't a disc golf rule.:doh: In disc golf if you are going to penalize someone you have to use disc golf rules :doh: You could call littering a courtesy violation in order to penalize someone but according to the disc golf rule book a courtesy violation requires that the first offense is a warning.:doh: You can't just make up rules because you think they are a good idea. :doh: Maybe you should try to understand the rules being discussed before you try and make someone else's statement seem stupid.
I think the pre warning makes people know that I am serious about keeping the course clean. I'm not trying to be a dick. I spend so much time keeping courses clean and I get compliments from out of town players.
Personally, I think we should all just go with the PDGA rules. I do however appreciate any attempts to enforce and spread awareness about littering. It's really frustrating to see how many people don't care. I'd be happy to see the PDGA ruling changed to disqualification for littering.
As stated by others, you will get better results by encouraging the players to pick up trash rather than trying to punish them for littering. Offering a prize(s) to the card or player that brings back the most trash results in a win-win for everyone. This also lets everyone know you are serious about keeping the course clean. This seems to work better during league when players are more willing to carry trash bags.
