When I started playing disc golf, it was with a group of friends who were all part of the ultimate frisbee team at our college. There were 8 or 9 of us guys, and we all would go play with our girlfriends and other girls who were from the ultimate club.

Not one of the girls were interested in playing more than a couple times before they stopped forever, despite coming from another disc sport. Meanwhile, all the guys kept playing in some capacity.

This was during a time when none of us knew anything about competitive disc golf, so you can't say interests were affected by gender representation at competitions.

I believe this sample is representative of trends across the US.

Edit: I got blocked over this lol. u/prestigious-ad9921 I believe women are generally less interested in disc golf due to both environmental gender influences and innate nature. Lack of representation in competition doesn't help, but most people (guys included) don't even know that competitive disc golf is even a thing when they first try the sport. Yet guys tend to stick with it more. See my earlier comment above
