The disc golf pro tour is becoming more like this than, I personally, would really like. You will have, of course, noticed the younger/more athletic disc golfers coming on the scene in recent years. Our sport is becoming very focused orientated, just like the others. Though, I think most of these guys are good kids in general.
However, that kind of focus has led to many instances of calling foot faults and such. These rules infraction callings are of course discussed elsewhere, and I don't really want this thread to veer in that direction. My point is; disc golf is also becoming a sport in which any advantage that can be gained; needs to be explored. (This is somewhat like the thread related to the jr. high football trick play.) This is also an area where players like Barry, mentioned above, Nikko, Feldberg, and others have resorted to many of these, what I call, "shenanigans." They would simply call it competitive edge, that is needed to succeed at a high level. PDGA site threads would simply say that "RULES NEED TO BE ENFORCED." My point is; that at the pro (and other) levels, this is becoming the norm; and it is entirely the opposite of why I gravitated to the sport in the first place.
Paul U. showed the opposite side of this; and thus, I gave him applause.
