2 large blisters, 5 cuts, and 3 hours later
    #10617192 -

And I still only managed to pick up about half of the broken glass strewn around the dirtiest disc golf course in the city.

Met some good disc golfers that were genuinely concerned with the state of the park. Unfortunately the majority of players that passed by me either didn't give a shit or didn't understand why I was picking up broken glass.

One dumbass exlcaimed, "Yer not gunna git any munny fer all that glass." :nonono:
It's not money I'm after, you dumb hick. I don't want broken glass under my foot every other step I make while playing a round. Nobody else seems to be doing shit about it except adding more broken glass to the pile.

Whole beer bottles, broken beer bottles, 40's, fifths, etc. Lots of different colors. I plan on using all of these pieces to make a mosaic sign to put at the start of the course. All that's there now is a janky sign that has a printed piece of paper saying "DISC GOLF".

I always pack out more than I pack in.

The course that I frequent was pristine until very recently. The county closed down another course because locals in the area were getting sick of the littering, and started demanding something be done. Solution? Shut the course down.

Problem is, once that happened, the course I play started getting trashed as well. As if everyone decided they should come get this one shut down too. Le sigh...

So I do what I can, picking up what I can without ruining my round.
I just keep hoping that mentality will spread.

I hear people say it`s not my trash or they don`t pay me to do that ,etc.

Are you in California?  You should play real golf.  Respect for the environment and course is built into the game its self..  Disc golf is supposed to be the same but it just full of weekender wannabee hippies with no respect.


That's not to say that I don't love me some disc golf.

I am trying to change that mentality with my company. I am going to use my business as an instrument of change, first and foremost.

I have had kids call me a hippie because I was playing behind them and picked up bottles they decided to toss next to the tee instead of carrying it a few hundred feet to the trashcan. I told them it's not about being a "hippie", it's about having respect for the land we use to play disc golf. Without that respect we won't have this land any more.

I don't understand how ball golf has "respect for the land" built in when they need to literally put in new grass just to play. Disc golf is built around the land, not the other way around. Remember that disc golf is a young sport, ~40 years, compared to over a century of golf. The respect for the land is built into the sport of disc golf. Unfortunately, as we can see ever day of our lives, respect for the land is not built into our human minds.

It's not the sport that will nurture the land it uses, it is the people who play the sport.

:cheers:

Props for cleaning up the disc golf course man.  I fucking hate people who just chuck shit on the free courses I play on that aren't cleaned at all.  Sucks.

I'm guilty of forgetting a drink a tee from time to time (I go quite stoned and/or drunk a lot), but every few weeks I'll take a garbage bag with me and pick up everything I see while playing through to try to compensate for that.

You bring up an interesting point about disc golf being relatively young...man disc golf trees in softwood (mostly evergreen) forests FUCK TREES UP!

The trees nearest the tee are always bleeding sap like mad.

I think that eventually disc golf will be pretty destructive on the landscape, or at least the trees, but I think people who play disc golf should respect the courses they play on and keep them tidy.

Nope, Montana.
I enjoy both disc golf and regular golf, but one is free and the other isn't.
And I'd really like it to remain that way.

That is a great point, vortex. And it's something that concerns me every time I go to the course. You can actually see where the discs take chunks out of trees. Unfortunately you can't have a challenging course without trees, but you won't have those trees for long on a high-traffic course.

There are also forces beyond players' control that can devastate a course. I saw at least 3 courses around suburban Detroit destroyed by the Emerald Ash Borer.

How do we compensate for this? You can replant trees that get destroyed by discs. But if you place these trees near those that are destroyed they won't survive their "adolescent" years. They will constantly have discs chucked at them and will not make it to maturity.

I'm not trying to say disc golf is more eco-friendly than ball golf. They both have their pros and cons. Unfortunately one con of disc golf is the lack of respect for the land that a lot of players have. But how can we reduce our impact on the land besides just picking up the trash these A-holes leave behind?

That's not so much his point I think.  Regular golf courses are huge blisters ecologically.  You import all these non-native plants, fertilize the hell out of them, and layer them out the ass with pesticides...it's gonna have some negative impacts on local environments, especially aquatic ones.  SO much nitrogen gets applied to golf courses, raising eutrophication levels in nearby water systems at a ridiculous rate.  Disc golf courses, however, have usually no imported plants or chemical treatment regimens.  Maintaining a perfect green doesn't matter because putting on woodchips vs. grass doesn't matter in disc golf.

Disc golf, regardless of the people who litter around the course, is much better for the environment on a chemical level.  Maybe not an immediate aesthetic level, but in the long haul it will do FAR less damage.

Also, on the point of emerald ash borer....if you want my professional opinion on this, I would say chop down any ash trees you have right now and sell em for lumber or pulpwood before they're too fucked up.  That shit is taking over and 99% of ash trees in the US will be dead within the next 25 years tops.

That's true. More and more cities are finding it cheaper to just chop the damn things down now than try to save them with injections. And waiting until they are already torn apart by the EAB just creates a liability for the city.

When I eventually build a couple courses the land I use will have little to no ash trees on it.
