2017 Aussie Open DGWT Event Discussion

[runningDoc]

The solution is simple - SSA is a better gauge than "par" to compare your score to in the grand scheme of things.

How close you shot to a scratch disc golfer's 1000+ rated past round is much more definitive.

Sometimes a wooded shorter course like Cranbury Park in CT the SSA is very close to par fifty four - 51 strokes, and sometimes Cedar Hill in TN a variable course that is long epic wooded, open, lots of major elevation changes and wind that is par 60 the SSA is still low 50's (52) because enough 1000 rated players shot those scores on that particular course.

Scoring using par is super useful from a quick mathematical sense though. From there you can compare par to what the SSA score is for further analysis.

Oh my god I seem to be wading into a par discussion...

.....
Par is the next-to-last step in the de-evolution of a disc golf discussion, right before comparing someone to Hitler.

Aussie Open event thread officially derailed by Hitler and "What is Par?"


So are you saying Jussi defines par like Hitler?

There's a lot of people I would have expected that joke from, but not discette.

:clap:

Choose your preferred response:

A. My joke-recognition algorithm assigns that statement a probability of 98.3% (uh, ha ha?), but I'm nonetheless compelled to correct some factual errors. Jussi doesn't define par, the rules do. The TD of the event determines par - that is, the particular number that is assigned to each hole for an event. That's not Jussi, it was Robert Kyle. And, I wasn't comparing anyone to Hitler. Yet.

B. What would par be if it was defined like Hitler?

All holes Par Nien!

All holes Par Nien!

Do you know that you can strain your back if you roll your eyes and roll on the floor laughing at the same time?

 

[Somebody Else]

I think it's a great idea - you mean similar to how you click on the players name and get the profile pop up? That would help both me and you!

If you're on Facebook, send it to them in a message. They're pretty responsive.

Yes that is exactly what I mean. I do not "Facebook", share it with Jussi and tell him it was your idea it might pull more weight :thmbup:

Lulz. Once they start talking par, there's no turning back.

Since this thread is still alive and kicking - some interesting info about SpinTV's next event will be made public on the /r discgolf podcast. I believe it's Wednesday 2/8 at 6:30pm.

No, it's feeding on brains at this point.

Wait... you extended a thread you're not interested in by telling people to end it? Someday a grad student is going write their thesis on that phenomena.

Steve and Lyle are SOOOOOO WROOOOONGGGGG for so many reasons about this PAR stuff.

But I wont extend this discussion in the Aussie Open Thread.

Trust me. My opinion would be great. I would argue this point bigley. It would be a very very good argument. It would be very great.

But do you have great people to tell you that your argument is good? Because my argument is very good, and I have the best people backing me up. Believe me.
