On the edge of professional Disc Golf

[DavidSauls]

allow to do what i said i wouldn't and try to clarify for you


this has nothing to do with what people do in their private lives
this has nothing to do with teaching your children right and wrong

when people smoke and drink on the course, within view of non-disc golfers and especially families, this reinforces the negative perception that some people have about disc golf

so, when a new course is under consideration and people from the community say to themselves "you know, i was at a park last year and saw disc golfers smoking and drinking. i don't want that in my park. i am going to fight the installation of this new course." those people now use their resources and energy to fight the creation of new courses.


big picture thinking, get into it

Yeah, there are advantages to having good relations with park neighbors and other park patrons. It becomes much easier to have good relations with the parks department when they're not bombarded with complaints, especially from people whose opinion they care about more than ours.

It's not just when you ask for a share of public land to build a new course. It's when you're pleading with them not to remove a section of your course for some new skate park or trail or dog park.

Talk to people from communities where disc golfers have a good relationship with the parks dept.....and with those who don't.....

The downside of declaring for yourself what is good behavior or bad behavior, or what is legal or illegal, is that your own opinion may not be the one that carries the day.

Pay to play doesn't discourage people who use drugs, it discourages people who think a round of disc golf has zero value. You create a free public entertainment and then wonder why it cultivates disrespectful behavior -- it's because it has no value to those people. Monkey-bars vs Gymnastics... money makes a sport. Get with the SPORT, come to our tournament, where we have 100%+ payout... because competing in an event in our sport has no value. Cheapness all around, especially in the "sport".

You anti-cannabis people crack me up. Weak minded? Where's all the hate coming from? By the way you seem pretty arrogant and ignorant when you spread bitter diatribe throughout multiple posts.

As far as the disc golf related discussion goes; I can understand and respect the arguement that it's not good when kids are out in the park (with or without their parents) and we have guys just blatantly smoking out in the open.

cracks me up :thmbup:
remember it's all good :thmbup:

arrogant...I wouldn't say that. arrogant doesn't give in, I give in if it makes sense, I am easy to give in and quickly. Ignorant, not sure what you mean...multiple posts equals ignorant?

I definitely agree with your second paragraph

Overall, it is amazing how people are a slave to cannabis to function. I am free...not really

I am anti-dependent on drugs. I've played with may dgers and they can't play without being altered...and I hear the same thing over and over and over. I can't function without it, I "play" better altered. It seems to be a joke that people can't even understand that they are dependent when they claim they aren't

After all of this babble, I have not seen one benefit of drugs on a disc golf course. The only thing I hear is how drugs are not as bad as this or that or you.

I have a few friends that I play with in leagues and casual rounds and they openly said they have a hard time focusing playing sober...no joke. And they play better once drugged up.

I don't think drugs are "terrible" but it seems to be a little odd that a lot of dgers I've played with can't function or play well sober. I am more anti-dependent to function...and a lot are drug dependent players out there that can't fuction in a sober state...hence, I can't focus...hence I need weed to strenthen my focus, my normal focus isn't good enough, I am dependent. You develop focus, something you can work on in a sober state, and it sounds a little better knowing that it isn't dependent on some outside chemical to function well. People need mental focus steroids/drugs are the answer for many...weak bodies need steroids...weak minds need drugs.

hush...hush...hush...don't talk about it...you are going to upset the stoners. Keep your mouth closed! Let us live in fairyland. do not disturb

The welcome mat's always out.....

The thought brings to mind that a lot of the pay-to-play discussion on this thread involves public parks, and in particular public parks converting existing courses to pay-to-play. But a lot of P2P courses are private, on private land or commercial properties.

Private courses have the freedom to set standards with less bowing to the neighbors or other park patrons. There's no rule to say private courses must be serious; they could be party courses as well. Though they'd be foolish to condone illegal behavior, they might turn a blind eye. And they could allow, say, alcohol in places where public courses don't.

So support pay-to-play, private course version, whether it's the road to professionalism or freedom. Or both.

^^ Private P2P is where it's at. The one public pay-to-play I've frequented doesn't even feel different than the free parks. It costs a dollar, that's the difference. Ranch golf is where I stuck my finger into the sport and felt its pulse.

Private property DG could be a booming business in a decade. Get DG in schools and college where it belongs and can exist as a sport, and let whichever industry wants to spend their money on grownup DG finance and shape its future. Maybe we'll see a booming industry with lots of marketing capital, that's been selling our discs for decades, that's looking for an activity their customers enjoy but isn't competing with the ad spend of Monster or Red Bull.

So I'm wrong yet you're agreeing with me. Not quite sure I understand your tactics.

If you're talking about me (not sure because you're being vague) then you even further don't understand my post.

 

[MPaq720]

^^ No I'm not talking about you. I was talking about the guy who posts 4 times whenever he replies to anything.

 

[ohtobediscing]

^^^He posts multiple times because he---has no focus. :\

*makes "disc golf sucks" stickers, becomes professional sticker maker*

ROFL!!!!!:clap::clap: Don't forget the "You Must Not Have A Kid" bumper sticker.

 

[NDABRUSH]

i am so very proud of you and your accomplishments in life

that is absolutely swell




however, you have completely missed my original point, hence the running in the wrong direction comment

and, you continue to run the wrong way, through the end zone and into the locker room

so, keep running, my man, keep running

What is your point? You just keep insinuating that aim doesn't get it , but you never say anything except aimsfor is a booger nose and "Doesn't get it"

 

[NDABRUSH]

Do you feel better now?

 

[NDABRUSH]

You forgot to type try again.

Again, lots of smarm and nothing is said. No humility around here.
