This is probably old hat, but it was new to me. Was originally just looking to see how well I'd have to shoot for this mouse to get some cheese this year.
Took last years King of the Lake AM scores and plotted them vs their rating. 5 courses, same field, 3 days, ideal conditions. Pretty nice setup for comparing courses.
The ratings plot in a nice line and excel spits out a slope equation.
Par is 950 or higher on Zephyr, Vista, Sierra. They're all tough. Bijou is similar when the long holes are played as 3's. It takes a mere -4 under to get to 1000 rating at Zephyr. Truckee is certainly easiest, and this shows where par is a 912 rating.
Does this mean we can say... Zephyr, Vista, Sierra, and Bijou (as 3's) are blue to gold rated courses, and that Truckee is a white to blue? Is that fair to say?
(note that DGCR SSE is misses a bit on Truckee and Sierra)

- Y Intercept is the theoretical perfect rating if you shot a 0
- Slope is how many rating points are lost for each stroke
