Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from abstinence itself.......Mark Twain
I'm enjoying our PDGA discussion. I like the DGCR forums because people like us can disagree and find common ground and no one ever seems to get too upset.
thought it was you ...all the courses played and the knowledge...you dont remember me im sure but i played all over the east coast in the 90's(as an am)...used to golf with biscoe quite often
Now congrats on getting Silver level TR! You got that really fast too. On to the Gold!
I'm not sure that an honest review of DeLa can avoid "Not Helpful" votes. They seem to have a core of people that vote down anything but a 5 disc rating. On the good side, though, you get lots of Yes votes for a DeLa review too.
I'm not really sure what that means - but cool! I haven't spent much time digging into some of the site particulars, but I've been enjoying sharing my experiences on some of my favorite courses. Not sure my review of DeLa was well received - but oh well
Hey Craig, Yeah I've played a few.
My total is more like around 240 - but many were temp courses, campus courses, and now defunct courses.
I see you're from Georgia - I'm signed up to play the Atlanta NT in March - maybe I'll see you there.
They are very different in character, but not so different in overall quality or difficulty.
DeLa has perhaps a little more variety in the nature of the obstacles. But BWine has more elevation changes, better visibility, zero crossover, more wind, and ................grass
So I'm not sure how to give you a straight answer. Play Bwine in the wind, and it's as tough as any course you'll find. (I haven't played DeLa in windy conditions - so it's tough to compare)
Both have some good qualities, both have a negative side - for BWine - it's a little repetitive, DeLa - is just plain ugly.
Overall both are good, tough courses. Neither is superb.
In terms of overall experience, they rate about the same. Iguess I don't think about rating a course in relation to another - I try and rate it on its own merits.
