This guy nails three Aces but are they truly Aces by common disc golf standard?

We aren't talking about tracking your improvement, though. We're talking about whether or not a shot "counts" twards anything. Of course it all counts for practice and I mentioned that in my post.I agree 100% with Midnightbiker. I must disagree with garublador however. Dg(and all sports) is to me about having fun and testing yourself against a course. the site has score tracking because people want to keep up with what they do. Most players will never make money at DG and many will never play in a tournament.
Does anything that you do that doesn't win you money or give you a better score in competition really count for anything more than just practice? I hit a putt during a casual round the other day but what really would have been different had I missed it? Does it "count" as being in the basket? If so, what does it count twards?
People talk about whether or not an ace "counts." What would it count towards and why is that count significant?Huh?
Why keep score at all? Nothing counts anyway? Why do people keep track of anything? Because it is a significant event in their lives. Everytime I play Dg, I keep score and so does everyone else I know. People also keep up with and talk about their Aces and best scores. It's part of the human condition.
If it's just bragging rights then my opinion is to count whatever you want. Unless you're able to give an accurate ratio of the number of aces you called and the number you hit I couldn't really care less. I'm guessing even the people that stand at a tee and fire off shots until they ace will have a pretty low "shots I called as an ace that I hit" to "shots I called as an ace" ratio.Why keep score at all?
