Moving Iconic Disc Golf Courses | Debate Night Clips
Travis from College Station shares his thoughts on the Pro Tour and the iconic USDGC course. He believes the tour needs to move away from the current location due to its prestige and the lack of interest among fans who have been around for a shorter period. Travis thinks this would be a crucial step in revitalizing the event, but also warns that waiting too long could make it harder to relocate. Travis points out that he was initially drawn into the USDGC's prestige, likely due to its popularity among professionals like Trevor, with whom he had previously discussed the topic. He observes that watching the final round last year still felt weird, especially since some holes are located on campus and nearby baseball fields. With the Pro Tour already gaining new subscribers and members, Travis thinks it's time to reassess the tour's major events, including USDGC.
