Now you got my curiousity "piqued" if that how you use that in English... Why is the tournament scene not "Mr Schneider's" "thing"? Just curious... I would like to hear the other side of the spectrum...

Some people don't like when it takes over 3 hours to play one round.

This. I'm on the course to throw, not stand around. This is why I don't play Pier Park except before noon on weekdays.

Also, I don't have as much fun if my score actually matters, and if I can't throw extra discs to see what they would've done.

Also -- the reason I posted here -- I've rarely seen a large congregation of disc golfers that didn't involve cigarette smoke. I know people "try" to stay downwind, but you know that doesn't always work out. I can smell it from 500 feet away. (Pot smokers actually bother me less, because they usually go back in the woods and do their thing, and don't carry it around with them stinking up the course... on the other hand, pot smokers who do it out in the open piss me off much more, because it's not good for the image of the sport.)


I think it's interesting that so many serious disc golfers are always looking for organized tournaments to play in... most other sports aren't like that. There are thousands, maybe millions, of hard-core ball golfers who play every single weekend, but they rarely play in tournaments.

End the stupid prohibition. Educate the people. Be done with the Dark Ages.

Gotcha, so smaller tournaments that have less than a full turn out, would those work? I've played in plenty of tournaments with no wait time... Ball golf has a way more wait time than disc golf from my own expirence...
I guess its better to play Deaf tournaments since there is always a few empty holes between cards. BTW i'll be at beaver state fling with an "become Deaf in 5 minutes" device... Only $100 dollars per 5 minutes... any takers???
And Golf is expensive, there is a lack of tournaments as opposed to disc golf because entry fees are outrageous and there is so much drama into it...
Anyways thanks for answering my question and back to our normal thread topic...
P.S. Adam, I sure hope you come to BSF to watch at least...

What did I say about standing around?

Maybe I just get bored easily. I like playing softball but not attending baseball games. I like to play my guitar but I don't enjoy live music shows. I like taking pictures but not watching other people's slide shows...

Yup. I'm also D.B. Cooper.

Its not standing around, you follow a group with some really cool players in it and watch in awe how they throw, and take your own pictures too!!
You will be suprised to see the huge difference between their play and our level of play... Everyone I know who has had the opportunity to witness these guys has always enjoyed it... your call... just dont to me when you wish you watched a round...
Just stay away from the smokers, DF and KC.. I want to watch Nikko, Gregg, Avery, and oh say a local NW pro on the same card... ohhhh

So lets take bets on how long it takes to get the word that I'm the new "Sheriff" in town. PDGA website says 4-6 weeks. Can they set a record like ORS registrations this year?

Bob

It's "official", I'm a PDGA Official!
