    Review by retleftolc in course Deer Run DGC

    4.00 star(s) Great Intermediate to Advanced course and very well maintained. Very well maintained! Great mix of shots/holes. Good variation between long and short tees. IMO, may be the best intermediate course in the state from the long tees. Not many, if any, that I can remember... Maybe some of the turf...

    Uphill/Downhill driving percieved distance.

    Kind of what d11rok said covers it. Specifically for a given amount of velocity with regard to actual distance (which most players call “power”). Since players think of power in terms of how far they, or player x, can throw a disc, it is much more functional to use a general rule of thumb...

    Top Player Ratings Over Time

    It’s possible, but he’d have to play a... umm, non-standard schedule, and play it very well.

    [Putters] What do you use for driving putters?

    Pa1, McPro Aviar, and Pro Pig. Pig, superdidupirty underrated imo.

    Texas Collegiate Championships- No Overhands?

    Also, not saying this is being done, but this could be used as a competitive advantage if the school hosting knows the strengths and weaknesses of their opponent.

    Texas Collegiate Championships- No Overhands?

    Karl, I’m saying what your saying, just going about it a different way.

    Texas Collegiate Championships- No Overhands?

    Hashtag- Notarealsport. Chuck, would the pdga truly ever consider not letting a player throw right hand forehand because the designer intended turnover shots to be used? What about a tournament where only forehands can be used? It seems to me a decision has been made because it does not...

    Ethics of trimming trees?

    mrtho, I doubt the city would be interested in doing the redesign either. I’m recommending you come up with the plan and get approval to get it done yourself. It may be best to start with opening lines of communication about course maintenance. Lots of cities will welcome the help, so long...

    DGWT cancelled?

    . . . but not against Smashboxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, because they actually do live coverage. :D

    Ethics of trimming trees?

    After a quick search, it looks like you are talking about Cabin Creek. Yes? If so, then it is need of more than just a tree trim. The course map looks like an asterisk. I mean no ill will toward the designer, but it appears he was not very experienced in design. If there is ever a lot (3...

    Is "Recreational" misleading?

    I think if your 18+ and are 1000 or better, it's fine to require playing in the pro division. You should still be able to sign up with PDGA as an AM and never be forced to take cash. That's why I set it very high.

    Is "Recreational" misleading?

    ABCD.... Am1, Am2,... Adv, Int,... Doesn't really matter to me. How about a different approach? Change the division ratings to accommodate better flow to the next level. This is based solely from a competitive perspective/motivation. Maybe from low to high: Novice- <701 Rec- 701-870...

    Texas State Championship

    Dr. Smooth, I think Eddie is on spring break from high school. Based on his results the last two tournaments, I would think he'll play a couple more big ones than he had planned. He's a senior this year, so football won't take up his summer and fall either.
