Every course is a pay to play...

[Mando]

Either everyone in the tax base is paying for pubic courses, or you pay individually for private courses, but I think all of us are attracted to disc golf as being "free". Free disc golf is a misnomer.

I am paying in sweat this time of year...

 

[discerdoo]

Yeah, so......

I love pubic courses!

DP = Direct Pay
IP = Indirect Pay (your taxes)
OP = Others Pay (taxes)

IP at some of my courses...

What if you don't pay taxes? Can you still get into these pubic courses? They sound interesting.

Nothing's free, or if it is, you get what the price is worth. Lots of nice things don't cost money though.

I wonder what percentage of the disc golf population understands the fact that disc golf is not free...

I wonder if you are trying to make a non-landfill worthy significant point?

Disc golfers are cheap, but I get OP's point. However, an IP course is there whether or not you use it...so...

I hope most of us. A small effort like picking up sticks during your round makes a huge difference if everyone does it.

Pubic courses should be free to play.

I agree with the thriftiness of disc golfers. That is what makes sweat equity such an affordable and worthwhile endeavor.

If taxes are paying for a course, then there are more people who pay taxes but do not play that course than those who pay taxes and do play.

So a larger percentage of non-playing tax payers are paying the most for you and me to play IPs.

That makes it almost free.
Also we'd be paying those taxes anyway no matter what.

Exactly. Almost free, but not free...disc golfers are freeloaders.

 

[hiflyer]

WTH??!!! I agree with Pathetic. NOTHING is free. Everything costs something, even it is an intangible cost.

SE - Sweat equity

Also known as private free to play.

Keep in mind that everyone pays for services and amenities that they do or don't participate in.

Pubic courses should be free to play.

In my experience Pubic courses end up costing a lot more in the end.

 

[Hampstead]

What's the price to pay so I don't have to play with frat boy beer chugging one disc chuckers? Find that price point and I'll consider paying it.

 

[Noill]

Pubic courses...

mwah haha.....ha
