In a lot of locales, there's no such thing as a "park district". The parks department in those places is just another sub-entity of the local government, and serving a somewhat discretionary purpose, when the local coffers are tight, they're usually one of the first targets for budget slashing. When budgets get slashed, the first targets to be neglected for maintenance are spots involving a niche activity that by and large generates no income from user fees.Disc golf needs more park districts that truly maintain their courses. I believe some courses are neglected by a park district stafff that doesn't play disc golf.

This is why volunteers are crucial to do whatever the powers that be will allow them to do as far as course maintenance.
Disc golf needs people to stop asking what disc golf needs.

When the WWF wanted to grow they asked what do we need, and for them the answer was Hulk Hogan/ Hulkamania. So for disc golf i think the same answer exists, however we may have already answered it, and if we have we need people to stop asking the question.

Sounds like you've got some sharing and lobbying to do in China.
Disc golf needs more supervillains as sponsored players.
I'd like to see someone try a pay to play with amenities: disc rental, course pro (talk about a dream job), lessons, a restaurant and bar. Make it a destination.
Oh, and a top notch pro quality course wouldn't hurt.
