Also as for disc golf vs frisbee golf. It's not that we are hiding anything like you make it sound on your site. The words are interchanglable. Mostly because the game was started with frisbee's years ago. So some of the older population still calls it that. Plus several times when I have told people what I play they look at me funny, when I tell them it's frisbee golf (or even frolf thanks sinfield) the light clicks. You also have the obvious typo mistakes with disc golf. I know first hand. Our local paper ran an article about the new local dick golf course. Also the name varies by location. It's like calling a beer a pint or a brew depending on what area of the country you are from
Yeah, I know Peter personally and can attest to his character. He's a guy that worked his ass off for McLaren and Junipero Serra on behalf of the SFDGC - whose position was to find an acceptable compromise between the community and the sport in order to have a mutually beneficial relationship - and had his life threatened in return.
This never was a fight between SFDGC and SMP. This was a positive process where new communities could be turned on to our sport, and it was turned into a PR assassination by some far-from-center activists crusading under the guise of environmentalism in order to scare the RPD enough to sit on the paperwork.
Principally, Ken doesn't have strong arguments, he's using walls of text and emotional rhetoric to try and persuade a bunch of disc golfers from outside of the area in question. All of you should place the burden of proof on him, he's not an emissary, a public official, or someone with any power other than fear mongering. He's an assassin with an agenda, picking on our sport because he perceives it as weak. He's smug, condescending, and firmly believes he's more intelligent than any of us here. He's arrogant insomuch as he creates an account on a disc golf site to sell lies about disc golf to disc golfers.
There is one positive to this though. The silver lining is that we're outgrowing the boutique, underground phase as a sport. When we start becoming a target, it should be a realization that we're growing and progressing as a community and as a sport. We must be responsible guardians of this sport, our courses, and our lifestyles as disc golfers to make damn sure we don't feed this guy any ammo. We have to work on showing the positives of the sport and minimize the negatives so that the rest of the world can see through people like Ken's phony convictions.
