will the ssa be the same as last year?

[Yardbird]

Historically, the SSA for the Fairgrounds course is 50.

I'm in talks with the club about using a temp basket on hole 18 to make it longer (~80') to drastically reduce the number of birdies on that hole.

Also, I would like to permanently move the basket on hole 11 (30' longer). I've been discussing possible course changes with the WSDGA.

[Yardbird]

I'll predict the ratio for ratings points per throw to be 10.

[matt]

I was trying to calculate what I should throw there
Using my new guestamated rating numbers, and last years round ratings

you should throw your controllable discs. there is not alot of wiggle on the course for shots that go places you didnt intend for them to go. hehe, ya i know you are trying to predict your score, but dont worry about your score so much. bring your controlled accuracy game and your score will work out fine. that course is made up of 75% shrubs/trees/rough, and 25% fairway!!:waaah: (insert slight exageration)

with that being said, i love the course, i always have fun playing the fairgrounds.

so all my woodland creek skills need to be dialed up?

wait...what?
are you implying that not all of my shots are perfectly controlled?
HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!:angry:

I cant help it, I enjoy stats, and calculating stuff (read over thinking).
just to support my wifes' theory, of me being some high-bred combo of A.D.D. and O.C.D.

the suspense is killing me

[Yardbird]

The match-up part is done. :nahnah:

Just back from a full day of skiing. I'll try to get the scoring sheets up later tonight. You'll just have to wait a little bit longer. :posting:

[Yardbird]

Hot off the press. The scoring sheets have been posted for the upcoming TDG Event at the Kitsap Fairgrounds.

Captains, please print a copy of the scoring sheet to record your team's results. Open the file and select current page to only print your teams' scoring sheet.

Thanks,
TDG Staff

[matt]

Man, you are like a bunch of elves that work while I sleep
Thank you very much, for all the hardwork you put into this!

[Yardbird]

I just spent a couple of hours after work today grooming the Fairgrounds course for TDG this weekend. BTW, the course is looking better than ever.

The new "long" pin is in for Hole 18 (60 feet longer).

Also, we cleared a new gap at the mouth of the woods for Hole 17 to allow a new longer tee pad by the trail to from the road crossing (approx 100feet longer than the concrete tee and will be a true par 4).

I'm going to estimate the SSA at 51/52.

[DMajor]

Suttle course changes sound pretty nice. Keep up the good work Sam!

[matt]

i am ready

[matt]

great course, great people, just no so great playing on my part
ready for the next round

Tough go for Team Oly. The weather was great, and the course looked great too.

[Yardbird]

Thanks again to the players that helped carry all the full garbage bags to the parking lot after the second round.

The WSDGA would like the hear any comments on the two new course improvements (a long tee on 17 and the deeper 18 basket placement)?

So far, everyone liked the new pin placement on 18 and the complaints on the long 17 tee were expected and will be addressed to make the tee location a more viable option to reward a good golf shot to reach the perferred landing zone in the woods fairway.

The round ratings will be posted Monday night. I spent to much time reviewing the cards and score sheets. There were multiple scorecards with no score totals or wrong scores and score sheets that were incorrect.

A few the Team Captains will need to be hung. :shooting:

had a good time yesterday. the course looked GREAT! thanks to everybody that helped get the course ready for play! i have a couple comments for the course changes.
#17- not a bad change, BUT i think that the removal of 2-3 smaller trees in the opening would really make it a GOOD hole. with the number of small trees in the opening it came down to "luck" to get through them. im sure the really good players could actually get their discs thru the small gaps, but hey not all of us are of the Pro caliber.

#18- no complaints, i liked the basket farther back.

one other comment, on the first hole you play after crossing the street (the anhyzer shot). the tee pad is raised up off of the ground, and it has been that way for all the years i have played the course. i would love to see that tee pad get some sort of backfilling or a wider box around it with gravel surrounding the teepad, so that we are not stepping/falling on or off the actuall tee pad.

[Rolly]

No rain was the best win of the day.

Hole #17- Too easy par 4, too hard birdie 2. I didn't like the teebox location, only because you were throwing into some danger having the trail to the left. Overall it was fun, and fits in with the rest of the course.

Hole #18- Nice touch to the hole. Some might say it's a "more luck, than skill shot". Personally I would like to see it stretched around further back, if creative with the pin location it could be a finishing par 4.

[Yardbird]

Hole 17. I like the tee location, but the gaps into the woods need to be a little wider and the mature trees need to be limbed up higher. The downside of the tee location is the errant throws that end up to far left and encroach the fairway of Hole 7. A 2 on the hole would be an eagle, if you care about what par is. Give me a few weeks and I'll crunch the numbers and show you the individual hole stats for the TDG Fairground Event.

Hole 18. The Holly tree in the center of the fairway could be trimmed a little to allow the appearance of a bigger gap to hit. A reasonable gap is there, it just doesn't look like it from the tee. The shot off the tee is an S-turn throw for either a Righty or Lefty. Aim for the Holly tree and the let the disc turn before the Holly and flex back. The clean line is the Lefty route, but the Righty line will get you a putt.

Rolly,
A deeper pin placement would be great, but the basket placement needs the buffer from the road for multiple reasons. There is room to move it deeper and more right, but I don't see that as an option for several years. IMHO, A finishing hole should have the potential for a birdie to make up a throw on the field (x.8 score average).

[matt]

i think 18 is good
17 just needs a little more clearing, on the right side, as you get farther into the woods
it looked pretty tough to get through, up higher on the hill

[SPIDER-DAN]

Great day.......rain stayed away.

I only played one round, but walked the first.

Hole 17 - seems to be a good par 4 and should be hit 90% of the time. Yes, the opening is very tight and i found that going through the original opening was the best with a slight turnover shot that i did manage to hit and get the three. I understand that i may not get that lucky next time, but when you are tied on the last hole and its hole 17 ........i had to step up.

Hole 18 - of course i liked the shorter placement cause i was just starting to birdie it alot. The further placement is good and a challenge for sure. I agree with rolly and in the future move it back further for a par 4.

Oh, my apologizes on the first round when walking with my son when he was playing........we were the reason for running late and i will make sure that is not to happen again.

thank you
oh and it was nice to officially meet you :seeya:

[Yardbird]

OK. I finally got around to crunching the numbers for the hole scores from the TDG event at the Fairgrounds course.

See the attached PDF file.

I seperated the data into three skill sets. (Average player, Advanced, Top pro)

It is very interesting to see how the three skill sets have different hole difficulty ranks.

The data shows the score percentages on each hole. You will be surprised at some of the results.

It looks like 17 plays as a true par 4 from the long pad.

Nice work Sammy! (And thanks for being such a numbers geek!)
