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:
