    Guilty of being a quant/stats geek. :p

    Yes, the field average was 2.43 strokes lower on Day 2, so an even par 72 dropped from 960 to 944. When the scores are submitted, processed, and finalized, I believe all 3 days will be on the same scale and those 2 days will likely be ~994 and ~987. Key this weekend was her consistency...

    how long does it take you to play a round

    North Boundary is my home/regular course. Whites takes about 1:35, Blues about 1:45, Golds about 1:55, assuming a clear course. Chasing a sunset, I've knocked 10 minutes off of each of those. Any faster would probably involve running. I play pretty quickly, in general. I can hop down to Knob...

    Most EXTREME course you've ever played?

    I invite everyone to come and play North Boundary, outside of Pittsburgh. DGCR's SSE is 78 with the current basket positions, 80 at the long positions, for the par 71 gold tees. There's a video on YouTube with a few 1010-1020 players who shot +1 and +2 - they estimated par at 1020. My...

    Post a NOT cool disc golf photo

    Moraine decided they needed to toughen the course a bit by adding a few obstacles around the baskets.

    Bad/Homer Course Reviews

    All of the reviews of North Boundary are 4-5, except for a 3 that was recorded 8 months before the course opened. Hard to follow/long to play. Yes, without tee signs, next hole arrows, etc, a challenging course will be hard to follow. It’s a lot easier now that it’s actually complete, has a...

    Review by RichS in course North Boundary Park - Championship

    5.00 star(s) A significant challenge, still getting better A wide variety of holes and hole types to challenge all aspects of your game. If you can't throw forehand, backhand, high arcing spikes and rollers, you're going to be in trouble on at least a few holes. A mix of par 3, 4, and 5's, each true to par...

    New Championship Course-Pittsburgh, PA Est. 2018

    Following up on this, in case anyone reads it in the future. I've played 30+ rounds here, know it pretty well now, and have gotten better, from a absolute beginner to what I'd guess is a high 800's rating. Times/distances whittled down until this week I'm probably close to the limit. I shot...

    New Championship Course-Pittsburgh, PA Est. 2018

    I’m not clear on why the longest walk between two holes is a better measure of course distance than actual distance walked, but the walk from the 9th pin to 10th tee is 600-700 feet, depending on which pin and which tee. It’s separated by the practice area and parking lot so it’s a lot further...

    Silly Newbie Q - lost disc protocal

    Newbie here - about a month in. I've both found a disc and received a text that someone found one of my lost discs. Any standards on how/where to meet/communicate/rewards/etc.

    New Championship Course-Pittsburgh, PA Est. 2018

    It appears I can't edit previous posts, so please ignore the previous two. I realized as I was again putting my wallet, phone, etc., in my bag to play a round, that I often would leave my bag on the ground as I walked to various shots, or I would grab 2 discs and leave my bag in the fairway...

    New Championship Course-Pittsburgh, PA Est. 2018

    Double checked - 2:45 for the second round, much faster with a general idea of where I was headed.

    New Championship Course-Pittsburgh, PA Est. 2018

    Answering one of the questions from above, based on two rounds last week - Apple Health tells me I walked 3.8 miles, took 7,800 steps, and climbed 56 floors during a round, which took 3.5 hours. This was playing from the white tees, though I had to pass the gold and blues on all but 4 or 5...
