If you had 3 full days in Austin, what is your itinerary? Where would you play, where (approx) would you stay? Read below for background/parameters. With Selah gone, our annual guy trip is returning to Austin. This trip started over 25 years ago as "play all the courses in...

Weird....what happened to the last few posts?

Like I said, I don't think it's a big deal. Lots of whining and hand-wringing about injuries and hole length and blah blah blah, though.

Haha, yeah I guess more the latter. But I did appreciate the compliment on my posting quality!

Both have ***, which means "*** Not incorporated into working revision, pending Board action.". So yeah, I guess the Board decides which one wins? Still wondering how ST-1 passes without any mention of when it is okay to move beyond your lie. Please tell me I'm missing something. I guess the...

Fascinating.

I'm not convinced he stepped past his lie on that shot. Looks like he was pivoting on one foot, and could have very easily stayed behind his mark. Is there video of his entire follow-through? Anyway, nevertheless, the bigger point is that, yes, some players would have to adjust to not...

This rule doesn't just disallow jump-putts, it disallows going past your mark on *ALL* non-tee throws. Edit: In the new rule, I don't see any definition of when you *CAN* go past your mark (i.e. after demonstrating balance, X number of seconds after throwing, after disc has come to rest...

holy smokes

Well OF COURSE I could have measured displaced water for an exact amount. But A) I don't have the setup for that handy, and B) it's more fun to estimate. Although I did cheat and use mapping for the lake size. Would have been more fair to have to estimate that based on known hole lengths!

I had 408,000 sq ft, minus 11,000 sq ft for the island. So my lake is, what, 10% smaller than yours. For the disc, I had 54 cu cm, compared to your 157 cu cm. So your disc is 3 times the volume. Thanks for doing that!

Yeah I thought of that so I guess my assumption was no air trapped because then they would float....but you're right, a little air could be trapped, so I guess there's another assumption that no air is trapped.....and probably that the discs aren't consumed into mud at the bottom or...

It doesn't matter, does it?
