So we were playing Phantom Falls. We're on the last few holes, which play up and down (and then up and back down again) a steep slope with a public highway at the bottom.
brentjacobs throws, I believe, a champ Roadrunner on one of the steep uphill drives. It promptly rolls back down the hill, past the tee pad, and onto the road. A nice 70's Mustang just happened to be rolling by and totally smoked the Roadrunner. This Mustang was black, and it had fancy chrome detailing around the door scoops. It hit while the RR was still moving.
That wasn't the biggest roll out that our group experienced on that hole, but it was the funniest. To me it was, anyway.

Right? I've always assumed that seeing me (or anyone) really rip a good drive would cause these...Normies*...to think, "Wow. That looks cool/fun/interesting," and to investigate further...
*Is this the accepted DG term for those who don't play, analogous to "Muggles" in the Wizarding world of bespectacled teenage magicians?
It's a serious question.

I've heard "Muggles" used in the disc golf context, referring to non-throwers.
"Normies" is a new term to me, but I immediately understood what it meant.
Throwing discs far when people don't expect you to is fun for sure. A few years back, some of the local pros put on a demonstration for the Big Sky State Games. They were just chucking discs out of the stadium easily, so the spectators couldn't even see how far they were going! One guy was at about 500' of power back then, and he just brought putters.

Only if the Mustang was driven by Wile E Coyote

I really wanted to call them NPCs (non-player characters) but I'm not sure how mainstream that term is yet.

What kind of High School has a 3 hole practice area with those kind of, uh, warnings? Must be a Catholic School? opcorn:

I kinda think Muggles works.

People could try making up other words but I'm sure it would not be automatic that people know what you are talking about. Almost everyone knows what Muggle means. The word was invented for the purpose of making the distinction between those that are in the know and those that are clueless. Plus I throw wizards. I'm going to start using it.
My world is divided between people who know absolutely nothing about disc golf and those who do nothing but play, think and talk about golf. No overlap at all. So I almost need a word like muggle more than I realized.

I think "Normies" is internet slang for anyone that isn't as into a certain thing as one who is the die hards. I've seen it in reference to Fantasy Football. A real FF junkie may be in 5+ leagues where a "Normie" is casually in one.
That should be illegal.
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the word normies, feaking muggles.
Imma start using this

I only know what a muggle is because of this site. I've never read/seen anything Harry Potter. You know, because I'm not a child.

Those seem more Lord of the Rings, TBH
