dumber question

Okay, when I look at a course (course info) is the "dgcr s se" lets say its 49 on right side the right and the "average par" above that is 60.... is 49 the course record or is that info available? course records is my question are they here?

 

[tarel]

play every hole is a par 3 regardless of the place. easier to keep score.

Thats not what I'm asking!!!! You can't tell me you would play the 1000'+ hole in Germantown OH the same as a 375" at the Mount Sterling KY course:thmbdown:

Hi Oldmanplayin, we have similar background and experience listed, but I think I've got the answer you seek. Everyone else correct me if I've got this wrong, please.
DGCR usually doesn't list the course records, but some local club websites do.
SSE is similar to the SSA (scratch scoring average), but not exactly the same. It should give you a rough idea of the course's difficulty, but I'm not real sure if numbers less than 50 are going to play a little easier. I think SSE and SSA are pretty fair guesses as to what a 1000 rated player is supposed to shoot on a typical round there?
From that, you can judge your round. If a course has an SSE of 49, and a novice player (850 rating & under) shoots under 64, they're not doing too badly [ (1000-850)/10=15 strokes ].
I -almost- always shoot for a three or better on every hole, but it's not realistic to expect a three on Idlewild #15 (and #5, and #6, etc.)
Sorry for being too wordy, and not perfectly accurate, but one of the DGCR guys might give you more clarification...

I am not trying to create an argument... but that is a moronic answer everything is a 3?????? 1000' vs 300' :wall:

par is relative

 

[JReynolds]

Par doesn't matter, AT ALL... make every hole a par 72 if it makes you happy, total strokes are all that matters in disc golf, ball golf, or putt putt golf...

Instead of ca for California on the underside of the disc it is abbreviated cal.

What is the difference in flight? What makes them more sought after?

It helps to "date" them. Flight will vary mold to mold.

Do many women play this game?
I took it up for fun, exercise, and hopefully meeting cute like minded women.
So far the first two have worked out ok.

I dont really think thats the point of disc golf bud, but yes there are women that play.

Honestly no, its 99.3% sausagefest. You wanna date, go to a club.
Zooming frisbees is the domain of men and dogs.

Not that any of us would mind if a bunch of hotties started chuckin'.

I remember this one girl that used to make little squeaks when she threw, like some of the tennis players do. Used to throw me off my game, I thought she was gettin' plowed like a farm field when I heard her from two fairways away.

I think its like chin ups, which is one thing women cant do nearly as good as men, it takes alot of pectoral strength, and thier fun bags get in the way, so they cant be bothered.

 

[Rumble Fish Twist]

Damn! Now I gotta sell my discs, buy some yarn, use all my old RIT dye on it, and join a knitting club!

I seem to remember some cuties from my past that were into disc golf.
Oh well, I guess I should learn to play then find someone nice to teach.
