I think the slow growth to the sport is a good thing, more courses, discs manufacturers, players and larger tournament purse. Fast growth to the sport would likely cause environmental issues, litter and crowded parks and frustrated players which would be detrimental to the image of disc golf.

I found an an interesting article on Bleacher_Report

I think that disc golf falls some where between ice golfing and cornhole.

The sports that are going to get more media coverage are fast paced sports where people,get hurt, just look at WipeOut and sports RedBull sponsors, like Parkour.

Really? Fast growth to the sport would likely cause environmental issues, litter and crowded parks and frustrated players which would be detrimental to the image of disc golf. these are the biggest problems with disc golf now!:
