Title: 2012 Ropes at the Oaks (USDGC Performance Qualifier)
Post by: pooleje on July 25, 2012, 07:44:56 AM
Have you ever wanted to play the USDGC but couldn’t get an invite?  Have you ever wanted to play Winthrop Gold or at least a similarly set up course but don’t want to travel all the way to SC?  Here’s your chance.  We’ve re-designed Mokena’s 27 hole course into 18 holes, added 2 temporary holes and laid out over 6600 feet of rope.  The result, a 20 hole, 8427 foot, par 68 challenge.  In addition, we are going to determine who will represent IL in this year’s USDGC Performance Flight.

What:  Ropes at the Oaks (http://jtowndiscgolf.com/files/2012Ropes.pdf) (PDGA C-Tier)

Are those course Par 4's, or event par 4's because of the length?

They are par 4s because of length/difficulty.  That's the score we expect the average player to get on that hole.  If you look at the last page of the course booklet, you will see a difficulty rating for each hole.  That's the difficulty of achieving that par based on the results of the last tournament we hosted using this layout (1 being the most difficult hole to get par on, 20 being the easiest).

Thanks for the explanation. I figured that was the intent, but wanted to make sure.
