This must be some defintion of "stagnation" of which I was previously unaware.

Disc golf is booming, from the top to the bottom.

At the bottom, the number of courses, tournament players,...

This reminds me that it's been a long time since I read board meeting minutes, but the board has to deal with a lot of administrative things that are far from the exciting rules/pro tour/radical...

I assume decks, with spaces between decking, don't really need it. But, per my prior confession, I'm no carpenter.

The security issue varies tremendously, depending on location. But I'd assume in theft-prone places, they won't be putting in portable tees.

(I know of a public course that put in rubber mats,...

This is a real concern, but can be mitigated somewhat by making sure the pad has a slight slope -- not enough to throw off players, but enough for water to drain.

We built a deck in the woods and...

I'm part of the "hardly matters" group, though I guess it depends on how bad the installation is. ("Hardly matters" which hole; it does matter than baskets be installed correctly).

If pushed, the...

With all due respect, having non-members participate in governing a membership organization would be a cart-leading-the-horse arrangement.

If it's not important enough to someone to be a member,...

Is that for World Championships, or all tournaments?

Personally, I think the "first come" registration rule is one whose time has passed. It made sense when there were few tournaments, to prevent...

Yes. I took it as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek phrasing of how varied we are, resulting from the unique combinations and interactions of our genes.

Yeah, that, and the fact that our brains like to look for patterns, and it's easy for them to sort out the world into Men and Women. There's a lot of re-enforcement for that, not just societal, but...

Alas, one size doesn't always fit all. What about courses that rarely have enough people on them for it to matter?

From two 18-hole layouts at Stoney Hill, we've cobbled together as many as 27...

Arguing individual variations also seems to me, to be an argument for abolishing gender or age protected divisions, and either having a single division, or only dividing players by rating.

Even B) as 18 holes doesn't seem quite right...there may be 18 tees and 18 fairways, sort of, but only 9 baskets means only 9 greens.

But there's no better answer. It's more than 9, a little...

A) 9 holes

B) Probably 18 holes, if they're really distinct enough, but with a disclaimer in the description.

We ran into something like this with a private course. We have two overlapping...

I think it's part of the consideration. Along with competitive fairness, and no doubt other issues. I'm fond of saying that "the simple answer is....that there's no simple answer".

My personal taste would be lower entry, no players pack, no payouts to Ams (just a trophy). If the entry were $20, a 72-am field would generate $1400 in revenue, which in many cases could fund some...

Maybe not, but if we also cut down the entry fee so it didn't have to cover all that merch, it might be just as attractive -- if not to all the same people, then perhaps to others.

With my rating and age, I can play almost any M division.

I have mixed feelings on the overall issue.

But it seems to me that the age-protected divisions are, in part, social as well as athletic -- both for the kids, and us geezers. To what degree is the...
