As many others have stated - if you have the course reserved then you can make the rules. If you don't , then they have as much of a right to be there as you.
Either way, being courteous is the way to go. If you're a D-bag, it'll come back around to you at some point.
It's all too common for people to be obsessively competitive. When these people play, they're not focused on the fun, they're focused on the WIN.
Winning is the thrill. Winning is success. Losing means you are less of a competitor than your opponent.
The majority of the time that people...
Wait, why does Michael Jordan need my money? Or was that Michael Jackson? Or maybe the hippies need more weed at the tournament?
Ugh, what MJ are you referring to?!?!! :confused:
Ok... no, but the title was confusing. Last on my list of guesses was Michael Johansen of Denver, NC (no...
Because everyone was so nice with their suggestions, I thought I'd throw up an update.
In the past month:
My average throw has increased from 150' to 210'.
Max distance has increased from 200' to 270'.
Main items learned:

All of my throws are...
I honestly don't think the cone is unattractive, but the lid on top of it sure is. Yuck.
That said, chains are not attractive either. I certainly was not drawn into the game because of the disc catchers. The only beautiful things in this game are the discs, bags and courses.

Thanks!

That's a small sacrifice to get rid of a rule complication.
On a more serious note - I agree with the sentiment. However I disagree that all games are meant to become sports. Disc golf is probably not destined to become a mainstream "sport".
I grabbed a few... I seem to have a problem with getting overexcited about new hobbies. Even though I have no use for them, I still have the urge to get more!
Thus far:
Valkyrie, Leopard, Buzzz, Stingray, and Aviar Putt & Approach. Also a few for the wife.
