I would recommend that at future Jr. events that there be a parent conduct meeting before play starts. I saw multiple parents swear at and berate their own kids during play. One dad stood next to his son for every shot spending over a minute coaching every shot. It was as if he was playing through his son. It was a distraction to the card. We've played lots of rounds with other adults and have dealt with lots of interesting behavior. But the conduct of some of these parents during these rounds was the worst I've ever seen. Lots of supportive parents out here cheering the kids on, but a few of these "disc dads" spoiled it for me.
