How can one broken practice basket be a course?

This is rediculous. If this is the new course standard then we can all add our backyard practice basket as a 'private' course. My town just added 400+/- new courses today, and the world gained thousands, we've hit the big time! opcorn:

Here's the new course. Bag it before the basket falls over.

It's classified as a "practice area". If it's publicly available (presuming the school is a public one), I see no reason why it shouldn't be listed if it is accurately described.

If the issue is whether it should count for "course baggers", that's a separate topic than if it should be listed or not.

Okay, but man, that's just weak, even for a practice area.

No arguments here. That's a sad looking basket and not knowing anything about the school (public/private, what age ranges attend, neighborhood, etc), I'd be more than a little hesitant to practice on it. But I've seen worse on full courses.

I designated it as a practice area. Doesn't add to the total course count in MT nor does it affect completion percentages.

And the basket certainly isn't broken. It caught discs thrown by 4 different frolfers. We even had fun. You should try!

I had this thought as well...

Heck, I've seen some almost as bad used during live broadcasts. Like when they forget to install the pin in the top of the Innova baskets, so the whole chain assembly wobbles around when you hit it or the chains...

I have personally practiced at this practice area, but I do not count it towards my total courses played.

(I do count it towards my practice areas practiced, which is a meaningless stat to everyone except Stardoggy.)

It's located in a public schoolyard, open to public use when school is not in session. I'd consider this a destination-quality practice area. The basket is super janky as the picture shows, so you really have to dial in your putt to get anything to stick. In that regard, probably the best practice area in the world.

The review suggests there is an 18 hole trout stream just down the road.

If you uncheck "practice" on the map feature these courses are excluded from your results.<3

 

[Noill]

Which is a default... I'm thinking of putting in a practice course with 4 holes.

I say we inundate it with 5 ratings and throw the Top 10 list and all its many followers for a loop.

...but the site says it's very cart friendly!

Stardoggy would definitely Stardog that one: "Got a good feel for it out the driver's window--marked it played."

 

[lyleoross]

Wait, people compete to see who's played the most courses? And they cheat (my definition, meant to troll anyone susceptible) to boot?

and it's a nice review too. it left me wanting to play this practice area... and fly fish
and since i couldn't thumb it up, i just thumbed all your other reviews instead. you write some great reviews.
