I have never before encountered this metaphor, and it's awesome. I'm going to walk around repeating it to myself today so that it sets into my memory.

Doesn't matter. There are signs up all over the place at Idlewild and people walk right out in front of you on a couple holes where we can see each other long before they get to a point where they are in danger.
The problem is, the ones who are aware just don't understand the danger of being drilled by a "sharp" edged modern high speed "frisbee". I got hit in the side of the knee by a friend just flipping a mulligan drive to me across the fairway when he thought i was looking. It left a massive bruise and my knee hurt for weeks and he barely put enough speed on it to make it across a 25ft fairway... The ones who are aware "frisbee golf" is being played, think just that, they're frisbees...

My Dad used to say it regarding various tasks on the farm that were more trouble than they were worth. Never seen the movie personally.
Pretty sure the saying has been around since way before that movie. I've never seen the movie, and have heard that phrase many, many times. And I'm nearly certain that I've heard it since long before that move came out. It might just be a regional colloquialism.
Farm sayings have always been the best, imo. :thmbup:

Most public parks here have football fields in them, but it's much easier to see when it's in use since there are 22 sweaty apeths running around on it at the time. Disc Golf courses require much more insight to figure out if they're engaged.

Maybe it a farm saying and it is because most everyone in my area has farm roots or maybe it is a southern or southeastern thing, but I'm pretty shocked that people haven't heard that saying or think it comes from some recent pop culture reference.
I feel like I've heard it pretty much daily my entire life.

I had never heard that saying before. I would guess that's not unusual for people who live in different areas of the country.
The 1st farm saying I heard was "If you want to run with the big dogs you gotta learn how to pee in the tall grass".

I've never heard that song or seen the movie. No idea where I picked it up.
This is not a recent phrase.

Sure. Look how the lack of standardized measurements made it so easy to invent and improve things before about 1700. Since then, no innovations at all.

An appropriate lead-in to one of my all time favorites . . .
