Chuck,
Cody Miller just broke the World Record (pending Guinness verification) for number of disc golf holes played in 24 hours with 1638. He did it at Bobby Ford Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=6442). A ridiculously short 9-hole course that was perfect to use for the record. Holes range from 90' to 125' with occasionally a tree in the way. One hyzer hole, one anny hole, the rest are pretty much straight.
I figure typical SSA for this course has got to be almost right at 18. Maybe something like 18.1 worst case. A 1000-rated player is probably just as likely to Ace one of these holes as they are to get a 3. Thing is a 930 rated player is probably going to average 19, maybe 19.5 on that course. But it looks like a 19 would be rated ~966.
Disregarding the 13-hole minimum are there adjustments in the rating system to account for really short courses? Or does the system start to fall apart when it reaches a minimum like this?
