Yep. Too bad no one has ever been able to explain it to me in a way that made sense.

Hey wait a minute! I am happy with the definition of par.

Aren't you?

It probably doesn't need to be said, but: we should all remember that things like thick rough, mandos, and road OB can make for better scoring spreads, but good scoring spreads do not necessarily indicate good holes.

I've been thinking this for years. It's nice to see that someone legit thinks this too. Thanks John.

You mean, the one where the designer puts it on the tee sign? Yup.

Yes, when the designer puts the score that an expert disc golfer would be expected to make on a given hole with errorless play under ordinary weather conditions on the tee sign.

It would be hard for it not to happen. If they just put a "3" they've got about an 85% chance if hitting the right number.

What do you think they put on the tee sign? What should they put?

No way. Most would be 2.

What they put on the tee sign is the par. They should put the par.

So we agree, since par is officially the score that an expert disc golfer would be expected to make on a given hole with errorless play under ordinary weather conditions (it's in the Rules of Play).
