Eh, there is nothing more to add to this thread. May as well go copy the last 40 pages and repeat ad nauseum.

QFT.

Chuck, do you know of any studies done on putting percentage vs distance from the target for different target area sizes?

You know, I thought about this post a lot last night, and I think it illustrates really well the difference between most pros and most joes. The pros simply are not ok with the level that they are...

I was not suggesting that it is impossible for females to be competitive. And, of course, testosterone is not the only factor for that behavior. However, if you take the population of females and...

I personally think a hole like this would correlate very well in scores vs rating. Your point is a good one, though, which brings me back to my point that making holes with more obstacles is not...

I agree that the standard is there, but not the competition. If female players made a habit of playing MPO and using that as their gauge for success, then the competition would be there to drive the...

Since when are female athletes not females? And in what way is that nearsighted and wrong?

And if all (or most or even many) par 3s in disc golf were like that, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion. However, relying on holes like that for the game to be good rules out most...

Adding OB lines around greens does a lot more to make approaching difficult than putting. In my opinion, it is also quite gimmicky. Having tight OB along fairways is a completely different matter...

The ratings system is 100% gender neutral. The only argument against that is based on the assumption that women sometimes do not get to play the same tees that men do at the same time so that the...

Is there a problem with the skill level other than the fact that there are not many women disc golfers and therefore not many women playing high skill level disc golf?

That was an interesting read. It just goes to show that the same viewpoints existed then as exist now. And the game still suffers from the same shortcomings, but even more so.
