it's an unfortunate aspect of disc golf culture that if you win an event you get called a bagger... i won my first pdga event by two strokes and was called a bagger... i had an 878 rating (pdga guidelines say that the "average female pro is rated 900+) and finally succumbed to peer pressure
and moved up to pro after only playing 4 events as an am... it's a vicious circle... i was winning events by huge margins, not because i was a bagger, but because the girls i was playing against in advanced had been called baggers in intermediate so they moved up... when really they should have just stayed and competed in intermediate where their ratings dictated they play, but no one likes to be called a cheater and a poor sport (which is what i feel people were saying to me when the called me a bagger)... i moved up happily because i knew i wasn't going to be playing out of the state much... but when i play a major or NT... i sure as hell don't feel like a pro... i feel like a really lucky, better than average disc golfer who is getting to play the first round of the tournament with her idols...
