Why I Hate The PDGA

[hawkgammon]

A 929 rated grandmaster can make over $850 a season playing in an age protected pro division while a 921 rated am walks away with a stack of dx Aviars to try and unload on ebay.

got something against old people?

[hawkgammon]

The PDGA is against tools, and considers them a bad thing.

[hawkgammon]

What happened to the Expert division? I was so looking forward to that as a goal to aspire to.

can't say i hate the pdga (yet) but was offended today when they called to confirm i was indeed an affiliate of the MD NOMADS when they got my renewal - like i would want to affiliate with any other md clubs (oh the horror)

I recently got put on three months probation for posting that someone was an Association tool:

[mr smOOOth]

Can you be more specific? Screwdriver? Putty knife? Toilet snake?

For Christ sake what kind of tool!!!!!!!

[JERMAN]

hoe's are always the tool of choice in my book mr smoooth

[mr smOOOth]

I think that's the best post you have made yet Jerman.

Always good to have a few ho's laying around!

Because an anonymous person can persecute somone over a personal attack on the Association's message bored when the person referenced has no issue with it.

[hawkgammon]

In my renewal package, which I proudly and recently received, was a bumper sticker with the official PDGA logo on it and the slogan: Disc Golf...It's in the Air! Once I stopped laughing I called Dick and we discussed the obvious implication of this motto. Coupled with the opening of the world headquarters on April 20th last year and the classic photo of Brian Graham standing in front of some leafy thick green foliage one can only ask this question:

[hawkgammon]

The Association has a major problem with people calling one another tool but embraces the use of the word member. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/member) This begs the question...

[hawkgammon]

...
btw, you two losers owe me 8$ each for gas.



So Dick calls Jerry and me losers which seems like a personal attack...sort of like when MTL called me unattractive (he got a warning) and the Association not only rejects my claim of personal injury but then says...
