Hi Chevis, It could certainly be done.. the trick would be trying to determine, on average, what impact each level of wind (DGCR uses 'None', 'Calm', 'Moderate', and 'Strong'). would have on the SSA. Ideally, we'd need a sampling of 'real' SSA data that could be matched up with the various wind...

It is actually possible to get the DGCR SSA formula adjusted, if you know that the SSA estimates it produces are off compared to 'real' SSA data. Basically, the way the system works, it (only) looks at the course foliage factor (lightly wooded, moderately wooded, and heavily wooded) and hole...

The scorebook (player rating and course average rating) doesn't seem to be calculating things correctly anymore. My DGCR player rating just dropped over 90 points since Saturday, so something is clearly amiss in how the system is (now) calculating player ratings. I helped design that system, so...

Here's a picture of what the short (A) pin position looks like:

*lol* I wasn't sure if I would live to the day when my own course came up for the HOD! This picture was from the very early days of the course. The little stump right off the tee has been ground down, and the big trees out on the hole have filled out a ton (i.e. there is no way to go around to...

Camp Tadmor is a fun course! It's definitely a hidden gem of Oregon, with some pretty technical (heavily wooded) holes. Pars are red level though (i.e. set very soft). This particular hole is basically a straight shot, but throwing over a little hill/crest in the middle of the fairway. I think I...

Is anyone out there on DGCR coming into town for the 2023 Tim Selinske Masters event? I will be one of the course directors for the event, and would be happy to give anyone a tour (or at least info/details) of the courses!

Welcome to the site. Sadly there aren't too many Oregon disc golfers active here on DGCR much anymore. If you're ever up in the Eugene, OR area, though, I'd be happy to play a round with you!

It was very interesting to see that local maximum at ~3.22! Just as a general design guideline, I've always assumed it to be roughly 3.3, so it's nice to have solid data suggesting it might really need to be a little lower than that. On the topic of this: .. I think one big challenge for...

If you do come to Eugene, I'll pretty likely be helping run the event, and I'd be happy to give you a course tour! They're still deciding on which courses to use for the event, but it *might* include the course in Eugene I designed too. ;)

The second throw I think does need some consideration too, as fairway 'drives' are going to be shorter than tee shots (potentially by up to 20%). Compared to tee throw distances, for example, the close range par guidelines suggest that a blue-level player may only be accurate at up to 270ft. for...

I generally like using the "CR Par" (Close Range Par) guidelines around drive distances, which suggest that a blue-level (950-rated) player will generally be accurate at up to 340ft. (and can potentially push beyond that, but with reduced accuracy), and a white-level player will generally be...

Yes, they didn't change the actual requirements for playing in Amateur divisions as a registered Amateur, just the requirements for still being able to play in Amateur divisions if the player is registered as a Professional.

The only thing like that in the Competition Manual is the requirement (if there are more than two total rounds) to post the payouts: Competition Manual 1.10 D: Events with more than two rounds must post payout (including all added cash) prior to the start of the last round. Personally, I also...

The hole images no longer match up with the hole numbers (the course was re-ordered, and old hole 3 became new hole 1), so those distances aren't correct for the hole. Here's the correct distances: Pin Position A: 183 ft (3) Pin Position B: 252 ft (3) Pin Position C: 229 ft (3) All three are...
