I have a Fairmont Park on Disc Golf Scene question.

In my opinion, the way discgolfscene.com shows a course with alternate pin placements is kind of "messed up". More specifically, when it comes to displaying fairway lengths... if you take a look, it only lets you enter one fairway length per fairway, even if you rotate baskets around from time to time.

The only way around this is to have a course layout to choose from for every possible combination. Yikes!

With that in mind, I think we should simply list the average length on each fairway. For example, the length for new Fairway #1 would be as follows: 356'+504'=860' then take 860' div. by 2 = 430'. Thus the fairway distance listed on discgolfscene.com for #1 would be 430'

Thoughts anyone?

(BTW, I'm not talking about changing the signs, official maps, etc. Only on discgolfscene.com )

My preference would be to pick either the middle layout (if three) or the most likely to be used lay out lengths. I think it is not vital to be perfect as it just is one tool describe the difficulty of the hole. I think the problem with average is that for most holes the average would never be acc ... more

Adam I don't disagree. However, once we get the permanent locks, we'll be alternating pin on a regular basis thus there will be no "most likely" placement. Right?

In my opinion, i'd prefer to remove all the distances from score card if it's confusing. Simple is better.

Daisuke, I like that idea. We will eventually have the tee box sign artwork posted, which will show all the fairway distances. Not ideal, but like we said that's not exactly the focus of this site anyway.

Yeah, I agree with Daisuke. We should just post a picture of the various position distances and not try to cram that information into the website's format.
