Club Ratings

[damonshort]

Just treat it as two rounds of 18, e.g. 94 would be two rounds of 47.



The rating for the HPC wouldn't change, it'd just affect the overall club average.

You might get in with your current rating, Shawn,  but it will be close.  You ought to play the Peoria qualifier because a lot of Region 6 players will qualify at the Michiana and their slots will bump down if they requalify in Peoria.

...I'm looking for a roommate in Peoria.... ;)

May and June's Safaries...

Shouldn't that be Safarii ?

The PDGA posted updated ratings on their site this week.



As I figured, in spite of dismal performances this summer everywhere but Parkside (which was only adequate itself), my rating actually went *up*, to a sssssmokin 843 ;) - and the one round that my previous rating was based on was 'excluded', whatever that means. (Does it mean permanently thrown out? Jon? Bruce?)



But now it looks like Jon is a one-round wonder at 915 or something.



...and Brett should hit 1000 any day now....



the 'player rating over time' charts are interesting, if you like those sorts of things.



Anyhow, lies, damn lies, statistics, whatever....

How the heck can I have a better PDGA rating than Damon? Even after DFL twice in two tourneys.  Geez.............

Maybe you get bonus points for playing Pro......  ;)



or sympathy points :p



and you didn't play Peoria... of course, I really didn't either, if you'd seen me

Scott Martin won again for Open. Fun was had by all of the Brakels.

Did Bingman play open or Masters?



Congrats to Becky and Bruce!! Nice going Jon! Brett....well, you did better than I did at Manitowoc, we can leave it at that. So did Pat. So did just about everyone else.



If I hadn't looked at the leaderboard between rounds (I was one shot out of 3rd in adv masters, two out of 2nd after a fairly mediocre round) I really want to think that my typical tournament nerves wouldn't have set in. My 2nd round crash-and-burn exceeded Standing Rocks proportions... :o ]( :'( ]( :'( ]( :'(



Barry Schultz, whoever he is, set a new course record of 55 (over 23 holes) in the first round, followed it up w/ a 56 and wound up 9 shots ahead of A. Wield who was 2nd. Although it seems like an easy course, outside of those two no one really tore it up.

The rain held off til about the last 6 holes.



I was playing w/ some guys there Saturday night and Barry was practicing on his own, passed through & played one hole w/ us. I barely missed a 60-footer but he said 'nice shot' anyhow. It was cool...

Damon,

     Alex played Pro Masters. I don't feel bad because he did not play well either.

Yeah, West Park is a lot like Vollrath in Sheboygan (or Manitowoc, for that matter) in that it seems like ya should be able to always eat it up, but if you're off you can get into real trouble.



Now to really get off the 'club ratings' thread: Jay, is the Safari round in Joliet long or short tees? I think only about half the holes have long tees, isn't that right, Brett/Brakels? I think 4, maybe 8, definitely 9, 10, 12,14, 15 &/or 16, 23, I forget the rest....
