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.
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...
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...
For mostly open courses, there really isn't much to beat in. For more wooded courses, I consider them beaten if there has been decent foot traffic for about six months. Once the footpaths have become pretty well defined, the rough in common areas just off the fairways has been thinned out from...

Great Technical Course
The basic items check out. There are cement tees, DGA Mach V baskets, good signage, and some benches. I hardly noticed them, in that I never had to worry about footing, putting style, etc. This is a good thing, because it frees up your mind to think about the course...
I am capable of throwing a 1050 rated round. Anyone who can throw 300 feet and make a 25 foot putt is capable of throwing a 1000 rated round. I have met plenty of sub-950 rated players who are capable of throwing 1000 rated rounds. To me, that doesn't mean that they should all be playing Open...
This sounds reasonable in theory, but I have ever seen this in practice.
I propose that the opposite is the problem. You have most of the Rec field pressuring the 850-900 rated guys to move up to intermediate. Those 850-900 rated players do, finish towards the back of the pack, then pressure...
I think that this is a great idea. I've seen it happen at least a couple of times, where a course gets listed as soon as the baskets are in but before pads/signage are installed or before clearing is complete. Then the early reviewers talk about how the course isn't done yet, knock off a half a...
