[REDFIVE]

I was visiting with my aunt and uncle last night and we were having a good time until the topic turned to golf. My uncle is a casual ball golfer and has never wanted to learn about or take disc golf seriously. The words out of his mouth were, "...You can play golf your entire life, you will outgrow frisbee." I stabbed him, promptly removed his arms and used them like golf clubs to beat his limp carcass.
This is the ingorance we face daily from those that have no idea our sport exhists. I have dedicated more time to putting then most ball golfers have dedicated to actual play on the course and I am told I will outgrow my passion. I have not been able to play as many tournaments as I would like but the ones I do I have high expectations for myself. I have put in the time to raise my game to what I beleive is a respectable level. I am unsatisfied with Mediocrity and strive to constantly improve my game. It is getting annoying to me that such a great game, sport, is flying under the radar. Why has this been? What can we as a community do to promote the sport of disc golf. My view is from a player who lives in washington and sees that we are far behind most states when it comes to disc golf on all levels. I am going to be putting on a winter series to raise money to purchase EDGE packages for our local schools since I have noticed that my state is one of only about eight that have no edge programs running. I am sure my frustration will go away but I feel most of the world is missing a great thing. Rant over, sollution manifesting.
