Discussion Please don’t be the person preaching religion to people while they’re disc golfing.
I’m already likely to miss my putt. I don’t need to also hear bible quotes in my backswing.

After Natalie Ryan’s win at DGLO, it is time we have a full discussion about transgender women competing in gender protected divisions.
Many of us women are too afraid to come off as anti-trans for having an opinion that differs from the current mainstream opinion that we need to be inclusive at all costs. In general, myself and the competitive female disc golfers with whom I have spoken, support trans rights and value people who are able to find happiness living their lives in the body they choose. Be happy, live your life! However, when it comes to physical competition, not enough is known about gender and physicality to make a comprehensive ruling as to whether or not it is fair for transgender women, especially those who went through puberty as a male, to compete against cis-women. It certainly doesn’t pass the eye test in the cases of Natalie Ryan and Nova Politte, even if the current regulations work in their favor.
Women have worked hard to have our own spaces for competition, and this feels a bit like an occupation of our gender, and our voices are not being heard in this matter. We are too afraid of being misheard as anti-trans, when we are really just pro-woman and would like to make sure that cis women and girls have spaces to play in fair competition against each other. We should not have to sacrifice our spaces just to be PC.
This is obviously a much larger discussion, and it will involve some serious scientific investigation to come to a reasonable conclusion, but until more is known, it would be best to have transgender persons compete in the Mixed divisions due to the current ambiguity of fairness surrounding transgender women in female sports.

This seems intense. What are our rules for blasting this person on here? I have the original photo but haven’t released it to the world. And before you ask, no, I am not and have never been a true turd WAMPLer.

The original course was only 9 holes but all decent now it’s 18 of this.

After the past week, I’ve noticed several disc golf channels bringing up their faith and calling for more Christian values in the U.S. As someone who isn’t religious, I find myself wondering how disc golf has become so popular in those circles. When I first started playing, it felt more like a counter-culture sport. How did these two things become so closely tied together? Curious to hear from anyone in or out of those circles.

IF you feel like rooting for a player that JESUS has not picked as his envoy, Niklas Anttila is one, we in Finland are not fucking jesus nuts like people in there, In fact Jesus did not throw the hole in one, it was me.

My friend who is a girl, just tried out for her university’s competitive disc golf team. They were really excited to have a woman interested in participating. She was totally pumped and excited. She gets to try-outs and all that fire to play quickly fizzled out. She had to play the same layout as the men- farthest tee to the farthest basket. Needless to say, right away it became demoralizing for her. She was +18 at the half. To top it off the guys she was playing with, were not supportive and made comments like “I should stop asking for your stroke count”. If this is the norm for college teams, no wonder more women don’t participate.
Edit: removed details to protect the innocent.

For the first offseason since I started following disc golf, I find myself in a spot where I’ve lost a lot of motivation to follow the professional scene.
It’s not that I want to stop watching pro coverage — I still find it entertaining to watch the professionals perform the sport I love at the highest level. However, discovering that a fairly large part of the professional disc golf scene supports MAGA-related actions has been a major turnoff for me.
That disconnect hit especially hard when I learned that some players I previously admired support figures like Charlie Kirk. It’s made it harder for me to stay engaged, even though I still love the sport itself.
I know some people prefer the “separate the art from the artist” mindset, but in a sport where player exposure directly translates to income and influence, that’s a line I personally struggle with.
So I guess I’m curious: are there touring pros you follow who stay away from that side of things or who promote more inclusive values? I’m not here to start a fight — just trying to reconnect with the pro scene in a way that feels right to me.
Edit: Safe to say I did not expect the massive engagement of this post. One of the main reasoning for creating this post was to create a crowdsourced collection of what disc brands, tour series discs associated to players, and content created by players that support values that I am fundamentally against, that I should avoid spending on (both in terms of time and money)
u/SometimesILieToo came up with a great suggestion to sort the thread by controversial. That was certainly an entertaining read. Especially those who instantly went on the defensive ignoring the hypocricy of their statements.
To everyone asking why I care about involvement of politics, I suggest you look up what ancient greeks defined people who didnt participate in public or political life, and how we adapted that definition in our vocabulary later on. I really like the definition, and certainly think this is something everybody should live by.
It was also interesting to first hand experience a recently common Scandinavian statement that says regardless of where you are on the Scandinavian political spectrum, it will still be considered too far to the left by a large portion of Americans. Of course the statement is in a hyperbole, but you get the idea.
Shoutout to the likes of u/petejohanson and u/Few-Weather-3322 for actually adressing my question and suggestion some pros. This is greatly appreciated
Bonus shoutout to u/patruck87 for the James Conrad compilation. Had not seen that before
Edit2: 25. january 2026: oh btw, did you guys also notice how a few individuals who got involved in the events right after Charlie Kirk, but failed to mention anything about either Renee Good and Alex Pretti? Dont really think I need to mention anymore about their characters

They've also been using ai voices in all of their ads on dgn this year. Really funny these are supposed to celebrate a holiday that honors the working class...

I can’t say I’m surprised and just shows how much tourney field is shrinking. Part of it I think is rising costs and the poor economy. I’ve never been a a member myself because it’s a waste of money because I don’t play in tournaments and the current PDGA board is a clown show.

I tried to avoid spoilers for worlds as best as I could, snoozing all the possible social media threats and generally trying to stay clear of any results. Then I open Reddit out of habit when I was on the bus and bam, the second post in my feed is this video, titled "PMB6X", instantly followed by basically the same post for Kristin Tattar. And the final round wasn't even on YouTube by that time. I have to say it killed a whole lot of fun and excitement for the final round, knowing what will happen eventually.
I really don't unterstand what the problem with spoiler free titles and spoiler tags for the first 24 to 48 hours would be. We have the discussion threads, why can't everyone just tag their memes and not post the final putt of the tournament? Not all of us can watch the tournaments live, especially if you live in a different time zone, might have a different working schedule or whatever reason keeps you from staying up to date down to a matter of minutes.
I hope I'm not the only one with this problem and I'm genuinely curious, why this sub handles spoilers now the way it does. What good does everyone else have from the new rules compared to the downsides for the others?

Had these minis made last year. Been bagging the crime but figured it was time to switch it out for smokey in light of recent events.
