People say that the first 3 holes of flip city are just vanilla...how can it be the "perfect" course?
Yes but how can you tell someone that their favorite is not really their favorite.
You have to take these as they are.
If the hottest girl I ever dated was Rosanne Barr, sorry man, shes a 10 in my book.
Good post. I agree. I think too many times people respond to the # more than what is said. I think the ratings and reviews should be seperate.I see where Bill is coming from.
One way to look at it is this... There really is no such thing as a five star/disc course. The only way it truly is a five, at least as far as this site is concerned, is if everyone on this site agrees. That is to say that all, or at least the the overwhelming majority agrees that it is indeed a five. With the bad reviews aside, I think this is how we should look at it. A person who gives it a five probably thinks it is a five, in his mind. But lets find out why. Read the review along with the others, play the course, and then agree or disagree with the review. I think people give way too much credence to the rating.
I don't really like the idea of ratings so much. To be honest I wish they weren't there. I look at it like this. Do you think the review itself is helpful or the rating? For me I like to read what others say about a course and spend a lot less time worrying about how they rate the course. After all, an open course lover may give a low rating to a wooded course but describe it well enough to let me know that I am going to like it if I am a wooded course kind of guy. That would be very helpful! If it is my home course and he gives it a low rating but describes it perfectly then I should give him a thumber. The problem is I think people would give him a thumbs down because he didn't like the wooded course and gave it a low rating. He is just saying it was not high in his opinion based on what he liked. He could give a brilliant description but get knocked down. I don't think that is fair. I think the rating should go away. Let's vote on the meat of the review. After all, thats what really matters.
My $.02, I am going to bed now...
can any of the rest of you can think of a couple ideas? Or am I the assbag?
How about, everyone can review and rate a course but only trusted reviewers rating count to the courses overall rating? Because you know someone with TR status has been on here a while and is probably legit. All non trusted reviews will hate this idea just like i would if i wasnt a trusted reviewer, but at the same time it would be the answer to better accuracy.
Naugh, don't like that.
Maybe the answer is a "Cream of the Crop" tab (ala Rotten Tomatoes) that shows you the average of the trusted reviewers if three or more of them have reviewed the course? That way you could have both of them side by side. But the overall rating would always trump the Cream rating.
but it still does nothing for lesser-known courses.
I have a feeling these words will be used many times by many people before this thread is dead! lol
would you rather have a course with 6 locals who only played a coupple other courses dictate the courses rating, or 1 or 2 people that have played many courses?
