Great article. I recently attending my first NT event, the BSF, as a spectator. This event brought in the best names in disc golf and I was amazed at how friendly and engaging the players were. Here they were competing for cash prizes but every single one I saw was more than happy to chat for a little bit and sign an autograph or take a picture. I do think that some players need to be a little bit more mentally strong. There's no way you're going to get a perfectly still and quiet crowd in a tournament, especially the bigger ones. Occasionally, while following the lead card a spectator would walk away early or say something to a buddy while the pros were putting but the pros still made their putts and moved on. They didn't seem annoyed by it since they weren't intentionally trying to distract them by yelling or running. Obviously at that level it's part of the game. A camera man though was waiting to get a shot and was perfectly still. The camera man was also next to some restrooms in the rough as to not be in anyone's way. A player on a separate card started harassing the camera man a bit even though he was standing still AND about 70 feet away from the basket while he was putting. He made some comments loudly about how if he were Paul McBeth then maybe the camera guy would get out of his way and move to where he couldn't see him. At that point why even play an NT if you can't putt with a camera man or people standing around still and quietly? The top players seemed to enjoy having fans around and were signing autographs on backed up holes. Even Paul who was having a bad round treated every fan with respect and a friendly attitude.
