New PDGA Website

That's a lot of decimal places for the amount of cash a player has earned.

I'd also like to see them use some higher res photos to accompany the articles on the scrolling front. The low quality kind of detracts from the nice framing they did with McBeth and Pierce on either side.

The limit has been a max of 560 pixels in either direction at least for posted stories and announcements. Not sure if that's a setting that can be increased.

It's not so much a resolution issue as a quality issue. Those photos are simply not great, sharply focused images.

I agree. Rounding to the nearest dollar is sufficient, imo.

I think it looks cleaner overall, although I gotta get used to it.

Is that the end of the PDGA forum?

that forum was micromanaged to death years ago- just hadn't been buried.

Here's Chuck's response to that from the first time the new site went live:

Revamped Discussion Board will be back in a week or two according to Steve.

Odd scroll bars

And entire course maps can't be viewed in their whole, as they could and as they can here.

Wait, you look for courses on other sites?

I'm rather stunned by how many people still do.

To me using the PDGA site to look for courses is like playing Space Invaders on an RCA studio II. I suppose it's fun if you have nothing else available.

I used to, and hated it. I found out after several of our early road trips that we played mediocre courses compared to some awesome ones that were nearby. Luckily, I found this place to feed my course bagging addiction.

I do when I have to add them so they show up in the PDGA app (I use it to keep score most of the time - it's simple and fast).

Your app issue should be taken care of in the near future

If you're coming out with a DGCR app, please don't overcomplicate the scoring or require a data connection - I don't need to know what discs I threw on what shots. I just want to write down scores and putts. And make it more than a mobile website (the scoring part - obviously it would work as a way of getting data from DGCR for other things).

P.S. Tips only, and I hope you do come out with an app. The PDGA one is pretty "meh."

 

[Darth Anovin]

Scores and PUTTS!!! Please.

In regards to the new design of PDGA's website, I'm wondering if the "advanced search" option for events is available on the desktop version. It doesn't seem to be on the mobile version. Which sucks. I don't have a desktop, nor do I have regular access to one. So I would use my phone to search for events just in Ohio. Now it doesn't seem like I can do that.

 

[steveganz]

Yep. It's available on all devices. Click on Advanced Options under the date fields at http://www.pdga.com/tour/search
