Really Small Baskets

[davetherocketguy]

This is just some crackpot musings

Woefully understated.

But yes, it does sound like fun to try once.

And the bottle cap needs to be from the beer you're drinking at the course.

Obviously. Also you must consume one per hole. (Also obvious)

Target openings should be 150mm wide and 11mm tall.

Turn that on end, set it on the ground, and we can roll discs across the green.....like golf!

They'd still bounce out 100% of the time

NO

The opening needs to be smaller or the putting will be too easy

My flat-topped firebird won't get through 11mm?

Yes, but it's way bigger than 150mm in diameter (that's smaller than a dollar bill is in length).

Let me get my Math Dunce cap on.

We could do this Andrew Marwede style, with cookies.

(I say make them choice edible cookies for even more fun!)

You're all looking at this the wrong way. What's the most exciting thing in disc golf? ACES!

Perhaps we should consider embracing a mix of baskets of all sizes from minis to maxis and target zone heights on a course and require throwing towards each size with discs of the appropriate diameter for their target size. That should add putting challenge for the players and entertainment value for the viewers with no one caring about putting percentages.

I think basket size is fine.

Smaller baskets for the pros will just mean more layups in my opinion... which certainly aren't as exciting.

I like us regulars and the pros playing the same game overall. I'll just take my higher score, ha.

The discs you use are sized proportionally.

 

[VictorB]

Mini baskets on top of the regulars. Eliminate a former stroke for making the mini, regular scoring for the absolutely massive ones we allegedly have now:|

(Yes there would need to be a distance limit on the mini)

Dang, I wanted to try and card a zero

 

[dysmike]

Put my basket size into play and you will!

I definitely tried to hyzer flip one of those round sleds last time I took the kiddos sledding
