So what does all this mean?
- Strokes Per Hole (SPH) – The average number of strokes per hole for a given course. Gives an average that can be compared against other courses. For example, if you scored 28 on a 9 hole course, the SPH would be 28 / 9 = 3.11. If you scored 57 on an 18 hole course your SPH would be 57 / 18 = 3.16.

History
DiscGolfStats.com started as a simple desire to record my disc golf scores and track my progress. That was around the summer of 2001. I started only with Hellyer disc golf course since it was my home course. After a while I added the people I play with so I could compare our scores. I began adding more courses as I played them including CSU Monterey Bay and DeLaveaga in Santa Cruz. The site gained good placement on the search engines at the time so it started getting a lot of visitors and new users. The site has gone through many revisions over the years and will continue to grow in features.
DiscGolfStats.com is owned and maintained by me alone. I’m a struggling developer that can barely afford the hosting fees to keep the site operating. There have been a few premium members that pay for a few months before canceling… I’m thankful for this but it’s not nearly enough to cover operating costs (mainly the cost of hosting the site). So if you enjoy using DiscGolfStats.com, please consider a donation. Thanks…
