Anybody that knows me, or has seen me posting on various disc golf forums on the net, knows that I am wholeheartedly in favor of pay-to-play courses. It’s an argument that I can delve into more drastically some other time, but for now, I just want to share an example of what pay-to-play can achieve. Chances are, if you have read any of the publications related to disc golf, you’ve probably seen at least one picture of the hole above–it’s shown up in ads and was featured on the cover of Disc Golf Magazine. It’s a great hole no doubt, but it’s only a taste of what Blue Ribbon Pines has in store.

Today, as I do every Thursday, I went to my local course to play 9 holes before dark. It’s something I look forward to every week after a long day at “my real job”. Only lately, when I have gone, I’ve found myself secretly wishing for a pay to play course close by. I’m definitely all for the free courses too, but having to step over other people’s trash (and even found a gatorade bottle IN one of the baskets) I long for a course where everyone respects the game and their surroundings.
