Waiting for 250 uniques

1813 HyooMac

I have no idea where I am with uniques, so my current sprint is to get to 250 reviews and 2500 upvotes. I posted review #225 today. I have 8-9 played courses yet to review- and a barnstorming trip to the DelMarVa peninsula this weekend, with a bagging target of 14 courses.

We're back in season, boys and girls!

Just was lucky to pass the 90 uniques to get gold late in 2021, so, I'm in a more "if it happens, it happens." mode. On a week of "use it or lose it" vacation, doing OK at hitting courses. Would be better if the weather cooperated. Actually been on a tear of adding courses this spring (4 already). Courses numbers exploding here in Iowa, know of another 7 or 8 in process plus a couple of major re-designs in process. If the stars align, I may be able to hit a top 10 course next week. Fingers crossed.

HyooMac is right, we're back in season!

Very much the same. I expect it to be years, if ever, before that the little Diamond appears.

I find this very amusing having spent the winter bagging in the southeast :P

I feel bad for modern reviewers that struggle to get unique voters. I had my own struggles getting votes in the rural midwest but I had diamond right when I finally hit 1000.

Reviewers have it sooooo much easier these days. Any semi-decent review seemingly gets an easy 10+ positive votes these days. Back in the day, we were lucky to get four or five. Case on point - there’s a recent review for a course just outside Charlotte. It got 13 votes in two days. That same course has multiple reviews more than a decade old that all have five or less votes. So, who has it harder getting votes?

Yeah, I get a little disappointed when I don't hit at least 8. Good to know that I'll be waiting for enough uniques for a long while.

Agree/disagree. You used to only need 200 uniques I believe. It's up to 250 now, and has been for at least a few years now. That's a large jump. Uniques are much harder to come by. When I started reviewing courses there was no Udisc. This was THE place to find courses. I use both now, but for different reasons.

You're clearly leaving out the fact that the extra 4 to 6 extra votes now are by the same 4 to 6 same people. I support people writing reviews for this site. That's how we improve. You seem to choose the opposite. I give thumbs down for nonsense, but choose to not vote at all when it looks like a Udisc review but at least provides a current evaluation of a course.

I'll be playing in your area next month, I love your reviews which you know about, hence the crown next to your name. I never reached out to you for any tips because you come across as a pompous ass on here. It's a disc golf course review website, lighten up.
