The Open At Austin

[Sewer bill]

You have failed the basic sentence structure test.

It's endearing.

Congrats to Niklas and Ohn. Both played great the entire tourney.

 

[Casey 1988]

looks like Discmania is doing ok. . .
Kristin had an Of day but today the hunt is on. .

Yes, even Discraft had an okay day with AB in top 5 and Andrew Cookie Monster Marwede in top 10.

Niklas just looked so good all weekend.

No offense to the Euro's, but aside from Kristin it's been all hype with the inability to play at the highest level for an entire tournament.

I'm hoping he sticks around at the top, more contenders makes everything better.

Although Eveliina already has a win this season she's gotta show she can putt for real. Her and Henna both can out throw Kristin, Kristin is just the better golfer. Best golfer is who will consistently win tournaments.

^I really like your work, Richard.

Especially the elevation profiles. The hole maps are excellent, but I don't think I've seen elevation change shown in anywhere close to that amount of detail.

That is a fantastic map. I particularly appreciate that is shows distances to the front and back of the OB area. Super-helpful the first time one plays a course.

Casey1988's biggest contribution to DGCR is to remind us all that the English language is malleable and can still be unsterdood if olny teh frist letrt of echa word is used for explame.

I have in the past but they tend to crowd out other numbers like the down range distance. on the elevation profile I found it more use label the amount of change so you don't have to do the math in your head.
I include the lines because they help emphasize the amount of change along the fairway. I probably should have mentioned that the interval is 1 foot and maybe I should also label the elevation at each tee to give reference.

Ohn's performance was even more amazing in hindsight. That she beat Kristin, Evelina, Holyn, and Ela by a combined 94 strokes is just

The MPO finish was fantastic. So many great shots, clutch putts, and great young players. I'm really looking forward to this year.

ohh gotcha

yah and not everyone is used to readin topo maps so it might lead to confusion and/or look sloppy

are your signs up at cedar creek central

Yeah, the sport of disc golf is simply not using the technology available. I could create these for every hole on tour (if the elevation data is available for that area) I have not checked the new venues for the rest of this year yet but almost all of 2023 locations have it.

I think the evevation profiles are excellent! I've seen them a few times at courses, but yours are particularly good.
I doubt if most people know what the topo lines mean (plus many people probably don't even see them).

I agree that many people either don't see them or don't understand them. Better maps for this sport relies on better map literacy. I showed some of these to a few pros at The Preserve last year and they really liked them and thought they would be useful to have during practice rounds.

Is Open at Austin #11 really 1000 feet?

 

[Casey 1988]

Is Open at Austin #11 really 1000 feet?

Maybe of elevation changes?

Is Open at Austin #11 really 1000 feet?

Hey Steve, straight line from tee to pin is very close to that. I don't have an exact location of the pin to measure from but I can say that the slight left to right of the landing zones does not make it much longer. (the blue line is from Udisc and measures 988ft. I think the pin is placed a bit deeper into the woods)

 

[Richard_Rasch]

Maybe of elevation changes?

Elevation drop is roughly 35 feet with only a little undulation. The red line on the aerial image is where the profile is measured. The distance is greater than 1,000ft here because I plotted landing spots offset from the straight line tee to pin. (the blue line is from Udisc and measures 988ft. I think the pin is placed a bit deeper into the woods)
