These 'chuckers' exist at every type of course. Go to Highbridge Hills, a disc golf mega complex in the absolute middle of nowhere. You will find signs of obviously smashed bottles, graffiti, and litter. Are you freakin kidding me? These 'chuckers' drove HOURS out of their way to pay $10 a day to play disc golf at a pristine and beautiful piece of northwoods WI property, and they litter.
Mabye we should start caneing our db litter/vandel pigs like they do!
Until disc golfers actually start policing each other its going to continue. Sorry I know some of you feel like a hypocrite calling the cops on someone who's drinking and smoking weed at the park
The trouble is you guys are mostly preaching to the choir on a board like this. I would think if you're serious enough about DG to come find a message board about DG, you are likely not one of the people causing problems out on our courses. So we all agree on the right way to conduct ourselves out there? I hate to say it but "so what?". The fact is we are just a very small percentage of the people who hit the courses. The question really is how can we get casual players to understand basic courtesy. I suspect that new people will figure this out mostly by hanging around with more experienced players. So, set a good example out there, play a round with casuals when you get the chance and make a point to make sure they see you field dress a butt or pick up a can. Throw in something like "gosh these cans are ugly laying around". If all of us stepped up and set an example once in a while, it could help. Me, I'm not the kind of guy who is going to walk up to someone and tell them how to behave. I'd rather keep it on the low down and try to make my point when I get the chance. Show them how it's done. Telling them may not work, especially with the teen set.
I've given up the latex biz now that Cramerica is out of business. I'm sticking with just the Importing.Well said. Will you be my latex salesman?
I just think you might want to call the losers something other than chuckers, like just d-bags, a-holes or something!
Hi, my name is superberry and I'm a chucker hater.
I need to admit this fact. As a DISC GOLFER, it makes me ashamed to placed in the same stereotypical bin as this majority of the people out on the course. Being a disc golf advocate, vocal supporter, and course designer who is all for the growth of challenging and interesting courses designed for good people, it forces me to distance myself from 75% of the players. During most rounds, I pick up and carry out more trash that I could have ever brought in. I dirty up my bag with the leaking stinking filth left behind by chuckers because I respect the beauty of the course. I could go on and on about how I clean up, fix up, replace, repair, etc, etc after chuckers have done their 'thing', but I'll save it for another session. Group therapy may last a while!
You too can join the group, just admit your shame that people look at you funny when they hear that you play disc golf. Because what people hear you say is "I'm a littering, loud, vandal who flings frisbees while frolfing", because of the chuckers stereotype.
