Hope you show a little compassion if the litterers are actually retarded, they probably don't know better.
Do you guys have leagues or weekly doubles games on the courses with litter problems? If so, you might consider this:
The first game of every month, we send a trash bag out with each card. Everybody picks up garbage throughout the round, and you alternate who is carrying the bag in your card. At the end of the night, we give everyone who is on the card with the most garbage an entry into a raffle for a sweet prize at the end of the season. Picking up the garbage doesn't take too much from our enjoyment, and we sort of enjoy the competition. We get a clean course because of it. And we are working with the city and local media to get more courses built- when I can say on the radio or to city council "we pick up every piece of garbage on the course which is located in this busy and typically dirty park every month," it sure helps our case.
Don't pander to anti retard rhetoric, call a tard when you see a tard.
You really think disc golfers are going to quit drinking, smoking, doing drugs, littering, graffitiing, and destroying stuff? Give me a break. Sorry, but I have little faith in the average disc golfer I meet. I cannot remember the last round I played with people I didn't bring with me to the course, both casual and PDGA-sanctioned tournament, where someone didn't light a bong.
The only way to have a nice course is to have it be pay to play. A free course in a city park is going to be trashed. $2 a round or $20 a year not only pays for someone to enforce the rules, but also pays to replace broken equipment, clean up graffitti, and pick up trash. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. You cannot have a free sport AND have nice courses at the same time. It's one or the other, take your pick.
I'll bet my local course sees 200+ rounds a day. Assuming 50 of those pay, that's $100 a day. Let's assume another 500 people buy the annual pass. That's $36,500 in day fees plus another $10,000 in annual fees. $46,500 replaces your entire course 4 times a year. Even if you have to spend half of it on enforcement and money collection, you're still way ahead.

Why does having fun, kicking back and recreating have to involve alcohol and tobacco use? Millions of people do these things all over the world every day without those substances. If someone absolutely needs to drink and/or smoke to play disc golf, I think that they need their priorities reevaluated.It's legal to drink, why should it be illegal in some zones that people come to specialy to have fun, kick back and recreate ? Kinda defeats the purpouse.

To me, this kind of behavior is just as foolish as someone using the word "retard," or someone using the phrase "That's gay". My two cents.
