I was having a bad work day and needed a little happy

THIS is exactly what I love about DPC. It's how I introduce people to the site.

It's like the game of golf.

You have your score/average... and if, in this "round" you beat your score/average, you win! Even if you're dead last on the course.

If not... you try again.

No one wins all of the time.

I love competing against myself/myaverage.

It's the perfect situation, no matter whether we're "golf pros" or... a "beginning golfer".

Solidly in "meh" territory. Thought I had something unique.

Good luck everyone! I'm going to try to comment on at least half. If I can't do well, at least I can encourage others, yes?

Oh yay, you got me! I was hoping and hoping. Thanks so much (my first comment, too).

I had a string of 22 straight beating my own average earlier this year. Some of them were real squeakers that came down to the last day, but that was part of the fun.

Hmm. Counting three in voting now, I have lost to myself 75% of the time in the past 20 challenges/7 months. Probably not very good. Were this golf, I'd be forced to sell the clubs!

Yeah... you're probably right. This site sucks. I'm in the same boat. *sigh*

Yet still... I keep trying to better myself.

Think maybe a shotgun would work better?

Hmm. In your last ten showing, you've beat your own average half the time. That's.... average! At least average for LydiaGolf. (And there are two shiny ribbons in there, too.) I think you're doing just fine!!

Meanwhile, my 2K score, since this is a scores thread and all:

Ok... so my win ratio in my last 20 challenges is 60%. It ain't that great, but yeah... I'm havin' fun!

Oops! I mean my LOSE ratio... I've "lost" to myself 60% of the time in the last 20 entries.

I haven't had a horse in this race for about 2 years. Now I have 1 in 2 challenges (Lured back by the 2K). I have one above my average and one below. Guess that's how I got my average.

Hey Cristy, nice to see you back! And Lydia, we both need to up our games, it seems!
11/06/2014 12:59:14 AM · #64
Thanks Melethia!
11/06/2014 11:20:16 AM · #65
13 of my last 20 have been above my average, which certainly helps my average ;)

So does this one, by nearly a full point... woot!

I think I will comment 50% of these puppies.

I have voted them all and will no doubt adjust my scores as I comment.
11/06/2014 12:39:35 PM · #67
I've hit 25% comments. Will get some more in after work, and on Sunday. It's very enjoyable, taking the time to comment! :)

Welcome back Cristy. If you indeed have a *horse* in the 'race' you'll probably score pretty high. :)

Seems that's where it'll stay.

I fully intend to vote & comment on 100%, good timing to have a long weekend.

disappointed with the score on this one, it dropped down to a 5.08 at one point that i noticed, it's back up slightly, but i truly thought this would score higher.

Doing a happy dance here. Completely a last minute entry - as usual! For once I have hit lucky.

What are you currently charging? Is it still £5 for a 8 and £10 for a 10?

P.S. I should still be in credit with that £50 I dropped you back in September.

creep up, creep up, creep up...BOOM....a three

I feel like that's how this one's been from the start. The score has remained in a narrow range, but keeps getting knocked down to the bottom end. Hopefully, rollover will come during a peak.
11/06/2014 03:08:17 PM · #74
I've just been hit with a 3, too. It would be hard to make a photo that had universal appeal, I guess.

Look. Look at it another way. If you're creeping up down up on your average score by mean little increments, where are you headed with your photography? Better to go down in flames nine times out of ten, if the tenth is an unexpected triumph: a new way for you. That's what progress is really about, isn't it? Crashing and burning, and then soaring? One soar is worth a score of pyres. If you're worried about protecting your average score, your wish is very likely to be granted ... and you'll be reliably average. A dismal fate. Buy some golf clubs instead. At least you'll reliably win a frozen chicken every Saturday.

ETA: on the other hand, my own 2K score is mid-5s which is ... my average. Fore!
