2019 United States Disc Golf Championship Oct 2-5

I'm not an Eagle fan...so I applauded the ground for delivering swift justice.

Dude shot one stroke better than McBeth with
a broken hand. He should give himself a pat on the back. (If it didn't hurt so much )

Incompetent disc golfers aim at the chains. Competent disc golfers aim at the base of the pole. For that range anyways.

The proper fairway shot should land short and skip under the basket.

Incompetent golfers have no confidence in their putting from 20-30 feet. Competent golfers have a 60' diameter target.

Lol beating Paul at the USDGC this year isn't much of an accomplishment.

If you are trying to hit chains and stay within 30' that means your target is somewhere below 30', not 60'. The 60' target is what you end up with trying to stop on the ground at the base. Trying to hit chains means your closest land on a miss is AT LEAST 10' behind the basket. So really you are trying to hit a 20' target while also trying to hit the chains. Not a high percentage shot.

And let's say you actually manage to always stay C1X when you run chains. Make percentage for C1X is around 80%. Do you think that you make 20% of your field ace runs? I am betting not. If you make anything less than 20% of your field ace throws it is an objectively terrible choice to actually throw for a field ace. And let's be honest, the make % for field aces is somewhere in the 1% range.

Math. Try it.

Nikko's throw hit the ground well before the basket. It was a skip ace.

 

[elmexdela]

lolololol

:thmbup: lol
At least 20' before the basket. But you know, math and all.

Geez, folks, I don't care if it's ball golf or disc golf, nor who made the thrown. An albatross is going to be more lucky than good. Just enjoy having seen Nikko's, and Philo's, if you did. Awesome shots, both.

 

[sidewinder22]

That was a misthrow. Just like all aces; poorly executed throws gone lucky.

Nikko's throw hit the ground well before the basket. It was a skip ace.

:thmbup: lol
At least 20' before the basket. But you know, math and all.

Holed out from the correct lie = throw. Not a misthrow.
Math says it was a 2 or albatross.
Not a 1 or ace.

Admit you're wrong...try it.

If you are trying to hit chains and stay within 30' that means your target is somewhere below 30', not 60'. The 60' target is what you end up with trying to stop on the ground at the base. Trying to hit chains means your closest land on a miss is AT LEAST 10' behind the basket. So really you are trying to hit a 20' target while also trying to hit the chains.

I comment here every once in a while but this may be the first comment where I am sure I don't know why either side is arguing.....?

Nikko threw it in from 400 for a two and someone thinks it was lucky and someone else thinks it wasn't?

Sheesh ...buzz kill one and buzz kill 2 — calm down....watch it again....it's fun. Have fun.

Incompetent posters make statements like these.


Crap! My bad. I reacted before remembering I was feeding the troll. :wall:

 

[SonicGuy]

And DGR is proven eternally correct. DGCR is for brainlets.

 

[Jolt]

just realized that Simon had 3 out of 4 of his rounds at a WORSE score than Paul!!

Are you serious? I can get Netflix, HBO, or Hulu for an entire month at that price. Don't care what kind of quality it is. I can bet it's still a feed filled with ads half the time too . Still wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't

Actually you're partially wrong. Netflix is 11$ Hulu is 8$ and HBO is 14.99. With free not being in the equation, How much do you think a 1 time streaming fee should cost?

Kind of fun to see Nikko play on Jomez . . the ONLY time ever i have seen a cut from when a player starts to putt until the disc finally is released by the player

So what do the numbers on the vertical axis mean? I assume the numbers on the horizontal are the number of holes played - right?
