How do you feel about the number 3? It’s just a number, right? But as disc golfers, we all have different feelings about 3 that can change with the wind: Sometimes it feels like a bogey on an easy hole; others it feels like a great save on a tough hole. Maybe a 3 just feels…meh. There’s also the common sentiment that “all holes should be par 3.” It’s as much how we feel about the situation beyond just the factual number 3.

If you hadn't heard by now that Paul McBeth set the new all-time record round rating at the Memorial. But that 1126 was still unofficial. Well, it's now official at a stunning 1132! Congratulations to McBeth for his stellar 39 on Fountain Hills par 56 layout in the 4th round of The 25th Annual Memorial Championship presented by Discraft.
