Anybody taken this class and want to tell me how it was? I only need one more hour of free electives next semester. Do you just go hit golf balls 3 hours a week or what?

I am going to say something.

I can get a better score than the average golfer playing disc golf on a golf course with the holes having 10ft diameter.

Consider that a challenge for any takers.

Took it and it was awesome. Hit on the range/chipping area during "class". Only pass or fail. You cant fail

Registration isn't for a while. Just want to make sure the class isn't too good to be true.

On a normal length course, or a disc golf course?

Either way, with a 10 foot wide hole, I would dominate you. Dominate.

No, 10 ft for me.

Ok. Change that. A tap in for me from 10ft.

Our holes are way different...so it doesnt translate except for the course.

Oh, I see. Your holes are 10 ft, but mine are normal golf holes.

Hmmm

I would actually love to play that out. I am also wondering just how low I could go if golf holes were that big.

I don't care what the class is. There will ALWAYS be that one guy who manages to fail.

Yep. Somebody said as long as you don't miss 4 times you pass. One SOB will surely miss at least 5 times.

Good question. 330ft.

I know you work in yards. But 2 throws gives me 250 yds easy.

And I can roll the disc on the trim grass so that can add a hundred yds. SO >350ft consitently (150 yds).

Remember, I just have to get it within 5 ft of the pin to count.

Im not talking about the tard that misses too many classes. The prof told us we could take the skills tests as many times as needed until we passed. Really only mattered for like 2-3 people but he passed them anyway.

Sign up right now. Its an awesome class.

Do you know who the professor is?

I missed a few times over the limit but my professor was cool. I think I took it at 930 and if you missed too many classes he would let you either come early and attend his class before or stay late with the next class to make up. Once I explained to him that it wasn't part of my major he let me slide a little bit. I got no credit towards my degree for the class so I was essentially just taking it because I wanted to get into golf and learn a few things.

You'd have to win on the par 3's. Notwithstanding errant shots (which I assume, maybe incorrectly, that this happens in disc golf as well), I am putting/chipping on par 4's and 5's while you're anywhere from 100-200 yards out.

eta:
Have you done it before? If not, what would be a good estimate for a score?
