They might place better because golfers from that state are more likely to play up a division leaving him playing against less talent. The ratings have nothing to do with states.Dig It said:Can anyone speak to the discrepancies of how players are rated by state? For instance some friends of mine who play out of state have told me they place better in other states in the same division. Are there states that are harder to get good ratings in more so than others? Or is this just a course ratings + geographic location = some states are just harder to earn points in type of deal?
I am not really sure what your first sentence means and to be clear I don't think they have different rating metrics for each state just that a natural phenomenon is occurring. These people that play out of state that I know play in the same division they would play here, place better and have a much lower rating compared to the people they just beat. After making this post I realized that people from other states that don't experience this will have no idea what I am talking about so I should probably just ask locally their opinions why the rating seem skewed for our state. It's pretty apparent talking to CO players that play out of state that they have a feeling something is odd. Thanks for taking a crack at this jnecessary, but I should have realized sooner my question would be esoteric. Or maybe I am just trying to justify feeling great about my bump to 917 after much hard work. :lol:jnecessary said:They might place better because golfers from that state are more likely to play up a division leaving him playing against less talent.

I know the altitude is no joke as far as how it effects your game so you may have something there. While I have your ear Chuck is it safe to assume the PDGA has found nothing like I am describing with CO or any other state for that matter having an uneven rating summary?Chuck Kennedy said:With a typically higher altitude in Colorado, there may be something that it's easier to play at lower altitude after normally being used to higher altitude.
