How does disc golf work as a spectator sport?
I spent this past 4-day weekend at Cedar Lake, IN, which is half a mile from the Lemon Lake courses where the 2010 worlds will be held. I think it would be very interesting to watch pros navigate those courses. As a newbie, I think it would help my game to see repetitive throws by pros to give real life examples of what all these instructional YouTube videos are trying to give me.
But as I walked the courses this past weekend, there didn't seem to be much room for galleries and the like. And at most of the places I've played, there is barely enough parking for casual players, to say nothing of a fleet of pros and officials. Is disc golf considered to be a spectator sport? Do people go to watch?
