Thorns and PI can grow on the fairway.
Seems like they have seeded it at the course at Longwood University.

Thorns and PI can grow on the fairway.
Yes.
Issues to overcome:
What about sometimes-hazardous plants like Poison Ivy? Do allergic people get relief---possibily advantageous relief---when others do not? Do they have to prove their allergy? A doctor's note?
What about other plants with rarer allergies? Want to challenge someone's claim to allergy to Trumpet Creeper? (I once knew someone allergic to grass. Imagine.)
Frequently patches of thorns or poison ivy are expansive enough that 5 meter relief isn't sufficient.
Thorns are easy to identify....how proficient are people at distinguishing poison ivy from similar, or even dissimilar, plants? Seems to me that many city folks can't.
I still agree and advocate for relief from hazardous plants. Disc golf shouldn't involve bloodletting or benodryl. But these are some of the hurdles such a rule must address.
I don't see why I can get relief from other harmful living organisms (animals and insects), but not plants.
truth i seem to always find the thorn bushes so im biased.
Uhhhh, I can't play from these weeds due to allergies. Free relief from "hazardous" plants is not going to happen.

The allergy argument isn't flawed if all the rule says is you get free relief from hazardous plants because hazardous is too undefined. You only get free relief from a dog if your disc lands within it's reach. If it's unleashed and unpenned then all play stops until it's secured.
