There is no motivation for a natural athlete to pursue a career in disc golf. It is not respected, or even acknowledged as a sport outside of the community. It is a poor financial investment to choose s career in disc golf, if one was talented enough athletically to choose which sport they wanted to pursue as a career.
Records are being broken in other sports all the time, but you can't forget the difficulty level in all those sports has also increased. I agree that disc golf isn't at the point where a "once in a generation athlete" would really be able to shine, and more than likely never will be. But to think that a sport that's been around for less than 40 years, and has no organized system in place to develop talent, let alone motivation to do so, is even close to having the best talent represented at the top of the sport is ridiculous. The very fact that there are guys(Brinster) who can win the most prestigious tournament in the sport(USDGC), while working a full-time job most of the year, in addition to raising a family says just about all that needs to be said.
I'm not knocking Brinster, he deserves enormous amounts of respect for his accomplishments, but he pretty clearly proves my point.
