For those of us who don't follow professional golf, they are reducing the distance that golf balls travel in competitive play. Courses are finding modern technology to not be sustainable as there is a need for longer courses.
Can disc golf take a lesson from this? Early on 450' used to be a considered a long hole. Now its common to see pros biride 1100' holes. We are forcing modern courses to become longer which increases environmental damage and build costs. We are seeing double digit negative scores nearly every tournament. Is it time to take a lesson from golf and baseball and limit the technologies for professional players?
