i didnt know how else to explain it.

Specifically,
1)Why are reviews so few and far between with over 95,000 members ?
I would love to see weighted reviews on Udisc, based on how long and how many courses the reviewer played.
I guess there is only so much to say indepth about a course. Especially for the slew of lower end ones if it's been the same for a long period of time.

Today is the 31st. There are still reviews on the front page from the 26th. So, only 9 reviews written between the 27th and 31st. It's hard to get fresh perspectives on courses when so few reviews are being churned out.
Reviews and ratings on Disc Golf Scene are about as useful as reviews and ratings on U-Disc.
Just about any course that's halfway decent is rated at least "A-" on DG Scene. For the most part of a course rated below A-, it likely sux.
The problem with a bunch of courses being rated in the top few tiers, is that it provides little separation between the truly wonderful, bucket list courses, and the merely good.
The way people choose to rate courses on those sites is essentially a binary function:
Either it's good, or it's not.
But you really can't tell to what degree they're good, or to what degree they're not. And there isn't enough substance in the reviews to make that determination.
That would certainly make tougher to plan a road trip and know you were going to hit truly high quality courses.
He's also had a long-running feud with this site.
This thread has accomplished these things for me, in no particular order:
Takes sugaree off my wishlist of courses.
Echo chamber; I've never been to Sugaree but everyone I know who has been there said it was well worth the trip. They also seem to struggle with the online persona Rich takes here because they all 100% say he's a great guy IRL. Based off of that I give him a lot of rope; he seems to have a need to grumble about DGCR so I try to listen and see if there is anything valid we can act on there.This thread has accomplished these things for me, in no particular order:

And Mando's a great guy, other than when he's on DGCR complaining about DGCR.
Well, it is winter in about half the country. Between that and COVID, I would guess there are far fewer road trips to find new courses, is going down. But, your disappointment is not to be dismissed.
What I love about the way DGCR works, is you can find a reviewer who has similar tastes in courses as you, and use their reviews to find a course you might like.
I've always viewed the ratings as a loose guideline and not as a definitive ranking of courses. What I love about the way DGCR works, is you can find a reviewer who has similar tastes in courses as you, and use their reviews to find a course you might like.
Exactly what I do for anything within a couple hundred miles. Read the sisyphus review, consider my research basically done. Pretty much 100% spot on from my point of view.
