Disappointing but entirely unsurprising day for progress in disc golf. Love to all the trans players out there - you still have a lot of people in your corner, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.

My least favorite disc golf commentary lately is some variation of "Ugh Hailey King looks like she would rather be doing anything other than throwing a disc, why is she even here?" It's got big "you should smile more" energy directed toward a young woman and it's gross.

DGPT skill competition is fun and has tons of potential but give me a little more onsite hype! Get some jams pumping in the background, have an announcer calling out shots - more home run derby, less disc golf tournament for this one.

Always so interesting how disc golf dudes come out of the woodwork to cry "protect women" when a transgender player is succeeding...but like literally never any other times. I'm sure they're all just too busy watching FPO otherwise to comment. 😂

Gotta put some respect on the Jonesboro Open's name.

It'd be great to be able to read more than 3 comments about transgender athletes without encountering rampant misgendering that reveals the motivations for restricting these athletes is bigotry, not science or "fairness."

Reminder: Paul McBeth is donating his earnings to his charitable foundation this season, which means the Paul McBeth Foundation just made an extra $20K.
And I'll for sure be rooting for McBeth to take down the DGPT Championship and make it $50K total.

My hottest take on disc golf right now: People in the sport across the board just need to be less defensive. Embrace what we are. Enjoy the ride. But also listen to feedback and get better. So much potential if we take down the walls.

It will always be a badge of honor for me that when I saw Tony Hawk at a coffee shop I knew it was him.
At coffee shop this morning:
Girl behind counter: (not joking) “has anyone told you that you look like Tony Hawk?”
Me: yes, so much that I sometimes write about it.
Her: haha, here’s your coffee
Other girl by exit: (leans toward me as I walk out): “you really do look like him”

Transgender players in FPO have to undergo a tremendously long, invasive process to even participate there, so lose me with all of the "biological advantage" rabble rabble chorus. They are not coming there to ruin women's experience. They are coming there to belong.

As a reformed member of the disc golf media, I'm keenly interested in how DGPT/DGN handle the Gannon Buhr situation this week.
On the one hand, there is little incentive to potentially alienate one of thetop talents on tour - as well as a company that sponsors several events. 1/

If I'm reading this correctly, this effectively means Natalie Ryan and Chloe Alice can't compete in FPO.
The

I think it's fine if people think trans players shouldn't play in F divisions and can communicate that respectfully - I don't personally agree but understand their concerns.
My issue is with the misgendering/deadnaming/abusive sect that seem to find their way to it every time.

The whole thread, but *especially* this tweet.
"Disc golf is so welcoming" shouldn't end at gender identity. If you're gonna say it's inclusive, then do it.
The fact that some players are better than others is just that, a fact, and is not because someone is trans or not. So can we get over ourselves and realize that in a sport that preaches that it’s for everyone actually act like it and put inclusion first? 7/

To see this as precedent-setting you need to see it as a problem needing a solution, which I will grant I do not see it as. Trans women aren't dominating FPO, and for PDGA - a notoriously slow-moving/reactive org - to take the proactive route feels out of character and early.

The argument that other competitors are at a disadvantage because Plaintiff went through male puberty and that Plaintiff’s participation disrupts competitive fairness is unpersuasive based on the evidence currently before the Court.

Just talked to Paige Pierce about her round today. A brief summary:
-Didn't realize Jonesboro started on Friday instead of Thursday, so she ended up playing.
-Got into town last night at 11:30.
-Spilled her coffee on herself this morning before tee off.
-Shot 12-under.

Also, if any talk about transgender people was actually about fairness to women, methinks we'd hear a lot more about women's healthcare, equal pay, access to abortion, etc. But for some *weird* reason that never really comes up.

I understand folks are bummed about Champions Cup in Stockton, but the issue here is more that there just isn't a wide network of major-level event directors in the sport still.

The players we've talked to don't want this just swept under the rug - they want people to know what they experience and the reality of their situation. Turning off comments also doesn't allow for any support of these players, which is vitally important.

Thanks for sharing - even if someone goes in and puts in an all ace round, the sheer amount of rounds scored on UDisc ensures the model isn't being overly skewed.
Will we ever be able to stop leaderboard goofs? No. But "will never be accurate" is a bit harsh imo.
