Interesting (OAF) or (AOAF) The 1002 par per unofficial ratings is more in line than what people thought par would be vs the zero sum 995. I estimated par to play near 1015, but I was wrong and/or a lot of people had good days (including me!) Thanks for your answer

Still trying to figure out an answer to my initial question though

This is all the useful data we have Will be a flex start, an am day , and a pro B tier to get more data in summer Yes it will get tougher in the summer, hopefully not too tough

The above numbers... =CORREL (hole score, PDGA rating) =STDEV (holescore)

Never thought of looking at that Correlation to PDGA rating, standard deviation 1 -34%, .77 2 -16%. .99 3 +9%, .71 4 -61%, 1.17 5 -40%, 1.08 6 -51%, .96 7 -39%, .78 8 -13%, .79 9 -21%, .65 10 -16%, .57 11 -21%, .84 12 -42%, 1.09 13 -25%, .59 14 -47%, .99 15 -45%, .62 16 -22%...

The course is extremely wooded. Some holes are right on the edge of being too tight. We thought par would be in the 1015 area and were surprised it was only 1002 (so far as not official).

Only hole 18 had OB. It was 250 foot shot with a 23 foot island. The drop zone was 40 feet from the basket.

Does a 888 have the same impact as 999? Do they both get treated as the round didn’t happen? For this tournament the ratings didn’t change when is 91 was changed to 888. I wonder if everyone is going g to take a 3-4 point hit when this goes official

I don’t think that is true. PLUS this is the 1st tournament ever there. The one thing that could have some impact is the 2nd highest player 888. That wouldn’t be enough to have that much of an impact.

The other tournament I was in had the opposite. Do we know if a player whose score is 2.5 SD below his rating is thrown out? How about a player on the high side? Does it try to figure out SSA using a certain percentage of the best scores or best propogators? In this tournament the winner...

Was in a tournament where all but 1 player was a propagator. I took a sum of the differential between player rating and round rating and the result was a +286 for the 43 propagators. On average a player shot almost 7 points above their rating. I thought it should be a zero sum game. What...

If one were to rank courses by where they fit in to all others they played (assuming a reasonable sample size) what should the distribution be? Sounds like 90 percentile is a 5 80 percntile is 4.5.............isn't what people want. Also no one gives courses a 0. Would top 5% get a 5? Next...

Looking to make a trip in a month. Any guesses which division play what courses? MA1?

Last year it looks like they used 9 courses. With 684 potential golfers. With only 8 courses are we looking at less spots? Thanks

Less divisions is better, but for play to be fair the ratings window really can't be any more than 50 from top to bottom. A 895 rated player with a standard deviaton of 27 can't win a tournament with a bunch of 930s (unless the division has very few players). Looking at PDGA data from 2016...
