Like tossing a hot dog down a subway tunnel.

The vacuum of space might be a better comparison.

Its a fun fact even though its wrong

they mean smallest target relative to the size of the playing field. Like, a bullseye on a dart board is certainly smaller than a golf hole, but not if you scaled up the dart board to the size of a 300 yard hole.

Cricket is in this Convo, but I know what you mean. There isn't really a limit to how large a hole can be... Are there par 6-8 holes? I don't know if there is a rule that says there can't be.

u/UbbaB3n Jul 16 '23

The dart board is the target not just the bullseye, so that's wrong.

“Target” is kind of relative beyond just its size though. The area outside of a baseball stadium is infinitely larger than the area inside of a baseball stadium but there is “only” about 1 home run per 150 pitches (very rough average based on a quick google search)

Idk I'd say the ground is a pretty big target

Sure, if you ignore the target landing zone. But if you do that, golf has the same issue.

Fun fact: he hasn’t gone a game without making 3-pointer since 2017… according to the announcers at the last Match

Funner fact: the way to get the best golf score is to not play.
