I am trying to find out peoples opinions on cell phone useage during discgolf. It really bothers me when I am playing to have someone in my group that keeps getting calls, you keep hearing the ringing as you go to throw and then the talking. Most phones I have seen have a vibrate feature so you don't annoy others. In a tournament, it is a courtesy violation. If you are just playing with friends in a casual round, a little can be tolerable. But if you are playing for money, such as doubles, I think it is just plain rude.

I agree, just put that phone on vibrate, if you feel you are so important that you have to take calls, go play with the little white ball.

Whats the PDGA ruling for a cell phone ring? It should be something like a penalty stroke for each ring.

Just wait to you play with someone with those dumb bluetooth headsets and talk all round long.
