Episode notes
Welcome back to FlingGolf Theory with Showtime!
In Episode 8, we’re tackling some of the biggest structural and strategic debates in the sport: how we calculate handicaps, play against golfers, and new rule change ideas.
In this episode:
1:10: Intro: Austin's recovery from injury and the Mason Dixon Club Series.
10:10: The Handicap Translation Problem: We break down how traditional golf generates handicaps and why those systems don't translate 1:1 to FlingGolf.
14:45: FlingGolf vs. Golfers: Why FlingGolfers facing traditional golfers head-to-head isn't a fair fight, given how uniquely our equipment and mechanics interact with the course vs the traditional game.
29:15: Showtime’s Spotlight: This week, we shine the spotlight on Jonathan Bellingham AKA "AquaJon", highlighting his impact with FlingForAll and so many other contributions to the sport.
32:29: Tim's Tweaks (New Segment!): In our brand-new segment, Tim brings forward a fresh potential rule change to spark debate. Our inaugural tweak? Introducing a dedicated putter to FlingGolf.
