DavidSauls makes good points. As long as the reviewer is open and honest about the fact that he/she also designed the course, I see no problem.

Is that an ACC collegiate disc golf team? That rotation looks good, but I would only get through it seven or eight times a year. I voted less than five, and my actual answer is probably one. Infrequent playing divided by a high number of courses nearby means I never really play a single one...

This. Oftentimes I do that with the first round during lunch and make adjustments for the afternoon. I assumed that everyone did this, and I played for a lot of years before I learned otherwise.

I disagree. Try to look at it from a probabilistic standpoint. Maybe you can't apply strategy to an individual shot, and the outcome of an individual shot is governed by luck. But you can apply strategy to multiple shots across a round or tournament. Imagine that a careful layup rolls away...

That's a neat one. The reason is Rayleigh scattering. Remember that different colors of light have different wavelengths. Molecules in the atmosphere scatter light from the sun very differently depending on wavelength. When you look at a portion of the sky, the air molecules there scatter...

And we finally got there. If we really want the simplest solution we should measure everything in eV. Then we can use the same terminology for both distances and disc masses. Natural units, c=hbar=1.

Folf = foot golf?

I use a towel, and they work wonders. You have to be consistent enough to plant on the towel without having to think about it though, otherwise you'll either get thrown off trying to get your plant foot in the right place or miss the towel completely.

Great advice, especially on the walkthrough. Depending on how analytically you attack a course, I've got a couple more specific things you can do: Write down what the wind is doing, if it's doing anything. It may be different in the fairway than on the tee. Observe where the trouble is...

In my experience (at Georgia Tech and the University of Texas at Austin), allowing members who are not affiliated with the university makes the club ineligible for any kind of funding support from the university. That's something you should check on if you ever want your school to help pay for...

If the lines are equally open, then I let wind and slope conditions determine if I approach BH or FH. Assuming everything is flat and calm, I will throw whichever I am more comfortable with on the particular day. If this is hole ten and I've thrown more BH than FH approaches on the front nine...

My mini says I was the #2 player in the Atlanta Area Bag Tag league in 2012. It doesn't say that I left halfway through the season.

Personally, I have never seen a case as you describe, where one player seems to have seen something completely different than the rest of the card. The OP (or rather, the 9th post) addresses a situation where, based on the visible parts of the flight and the topography around where the disc...

I would give the player the benefit of the doubt.

This. So much this. This is hands down the best post I have ever seen on this site.
