On the edge of professional Disc Golf

[JTacoma03]

I also disagree with anyone who thinks stoners and people drinking on the course are part of the reason disc golf is being held back. Just look at ball golf. Drinking and smoking are staples of almost any ball golf course as well.

You can disagree, but you're wrong...

It doesn't matter what the actual activity is, it matter what the IMAGE is. Yes many country clubs are bastions of misogyny and alcoholism, but they're closed up behind walls and moated away from the general public with manicured grasses and exclusivity. We have bozo's wearing jorts and drunkenly screaming about legalization and the war on drugs while 8-year old Timmy just wants to have a birthday party and play kickball at the adjacent pavilion.

Do you see the difference? Just because other people do it, doesn't justify you being an *******. Disc Golf needs to grow up, there's a reason other sports shield their vices from the public eye and use PR for image control.

^^ you're wrong too

^^ you're wrong too

Maybe it's not worth it, or ya just don't feel like it...

But would you please elaborate? I'd like to hear your side.

Which is it? One thing worse than overbearing selfrighteousness is blatant hypocrisy.

I can safely say that we have room to agree here...you definitely don't know everything, friend.

Point out the "blatant hypocrisy"...

Those other sports have the money to do those sort of things too.

The fact that they have to resort to those sort of means to hide stuff that would put disc golfers at their worst to shame strikes me as corporate and phony. The fact that it seems half of a sports broadcast anymore is covering the latest sordid athlete drama rather than the sport itself shows they're not doing a very good job.

Lol MN VIKINGS have had players that make disc golfers look like saints. Mo money mo problems and mo trouble to get into'

If we only knew HALF of what super athletes did in their free time...

 

[disc qualified]

it's not about what people do in their free time

it's about what people are doing while engaging in the specified activity

joe and jane public won't want to pull a course because people do drugs at home, they'll have concerns when they see people doing drugs on the course in front of their children


think of the children

why do i get the feeling that we are not only on different pages but in fact reading different books altogether




yes, you could be correct but that has nothing to do with the point i was making

i would try again but don't think it will make a difference

so i will merely just nod and smile

 

[zenbot]

Disc golf will never be "big." And that's just the way it should be.

*makes "disc golf sucks" stickers, becomes professional sticker maker*

So your kids dont know that doing drugs is bad or what is your point? I dont want kids bc its a **** ton of work to raise them. People are going to do what they are going to do. Movies, tv, video games Alllllllllll much worse than anything going on at a DG course.

:doh:

Do you live in a bubble or what? Cant hide your kids from everything and experiences are worth much more in life than anything you could ever say or do. Hope yours make it through their college years'

you remind me of the guy who recovers a fumble and starts running the wrong way

his team and the crowd are yelling for him to turn around but he's so excited to make a play that he puts his head down and keeps running

 

[Aim For The Chains]

No i was just raised to be self reliant and how to use a little common sense to survive without being lead into a path.

Im 26 and own my own businesses with tons of respect from elders my entire life. Dont tell me who i am or seem like bc you dont even know me.

Keep baby"ing your babies.

 

[disc qualified]

i am so very proud of you and your accomplishments in life

that is absolutely swell




however, you have completely missed my original point, hence the running in the wrong direction comment

and, you continue to run the wrong way, through the end zone and into the locker room

so, keep running, my man, keep running
