I don't understand Udisc course ratings

[ThrowaEnvy]

Ha, out of our die hard Sunday league of 20 maybe 5 people might watch DGPT, I bet more than 15 know who KC is (cuz they have owned a disc) but only 5 might know JC or McB.

Most of em have been playing for 20yrs+ they just don't follow it that close.

Particularly in the last few years, when people have discovered disc golf as a recreational activity and are running around playing as much and as many places as they can, with no clue that there's even a pro level. Or some who know it exists, but have never paid any attention to it. They just love playing disc golf.

I think newbie reviews are hilarious fwiw.

That's a great example of lazy disc golfers.

Babe Ruth, Knute Rockne, Vince Lombardi, Wilt Chamberlain.

I rest my case.

UDISC's ratings system is bad, but at least they have the correct listing for Florida's #1 course.

Who is this McBeth guy?

Wait, there are pro players? Do you mean that people can make money playing disc golf?

Have you ever bowled, played cornhole, badminton, horseshoes, chess, mini golf? Do you know the current world champs of each....how about the legends of those sports?

I don't see people, who don't see things the way I do, as lazy. Just unique.

Yep, despite how much I dislike Udisc's ratings system, it still basically matches DGCR's listing for Oregon:

Udisc top 5:
Rank Course City Score
1 Milo McIver Estacada 95.65
2 Whistler's Bend Roseburg 92.59
3 Dexter Park Dexter 91.24
4 Pier Park Portland 91.04
5 Hornings Hideout - Canyon Course North Plains 90.90

DGCR top 5(6):
1. Riverbend DGC (Milo McIver) Estacada, OR 75
2. Horning's Hideout - Meadow Ridge North Plains, OR 43
3. Whistler's Bend Roseburg, OR 12
4. Pier Park Portland, OR 103
5. Dexter Park DGC Dexter, OR 50
6. Horning's Hideout - Canyon Course North Plains, OR 47

I mean, I'm not entirely satisfied that a few of those courses are really top 5 in Oregon, but at least the two methods are pretty comparable. :P

It makes much more sense now 😉

In order to better educate players, perhaps we should add signs beneath those which advertise UDisc popping up on courses. (See example attached.)

I love that! Those signs would be perfect!
