This could be the last winter before disc golf takes its first step into the mainstream. There's been a couple of ESPN ace highlights in the past year. The sports network sees it as a novel, quirky highlight opportunity to keep viewers' attention, and the interest of the broader publicly may have been collectively piqued? In 2016 the mainstream sports fans will be able to take a closer look. There will be 3 new pro-tours debuting next year with strong financial backing, including a wor ... more

This could be the last winter before disc golf takes its first step into the mainstream. There's been a couple of ESPN ace highlights in the past year. The sports network sees it as a novel, quirky highlight opportunity to keep viewers' attention, and the interest of the broader publicly may have been collectively piqued? In 2016 the mainstream sports fans will be able to take a closer look. There will be 3 new pro-tours debuting next year with strong financial backing, including a world tour and two espn broadcasts confirmed. What will they think? Will it be taken seriously?
Allthingsdiscgolf.com has been following these trends, including discussions on how course design and development can shape the legibility and legitimacy of the sport as it pushes through some growing pains of disc golf's 'teenage' years:

What Discs Are You Looking For? & Save The Date!
Play It Again Sports is teaming up with Painesville Disc Golf to hold another fundraiser for a day at the store in Mayfield. The date has been set for Saturday, March 12th from 10am to 7pm. Make sure you put that date on your calendar so you can help us raise money to make Painesville the first 18 hole disc golf course in Lake County! In the meantime, we could use some feedback from you to make this event a huge success. Please reply to this post and let us know what discs(s) you are looking to buy in the future. List the disc manufacturer, model, weight range, and color (if you have a preference). We will compile a list of all the requested discs and submit them to Play It Again Sports in time for them to place an order at the end of February. The discs should arrive in time for the fundraising event in March. This way you will be helping a business and a disc golf course all at the same time. Not to mention you will get what you want as well! Please pass this on to other disc golfers and those that don’t play as all purchases made on March 12th will benefit the course. Thanks for your help!
