I have a problem that I believe a few might have. I played in a tournament recently which featured two courses. I played intermediate and got a rating for my round. The advanced and open players played the same course later on that day and got higher ratings. Fair enough conditions were a bit different.
A year ago I had the same situation however the conditions I faced were tougher than the advanced players and got lower ratings for the same course, same tees. What gives? Is anyone ever going to come up with a fair ratings system for this sport.
Granted some of you will say your rating should not matter but it does if you know you are a way better player than the rating suggests and you are a rec rated player yet you play like an intermediate borderline advanced player.
Side note the pdga app seems to do a better job in ratings than that confusing propagator system maybe that would be the way to go. It might alleviate the large number of players that are in the intermediate ranking that really should be advanced rated players.
