ratings seem low?

Thanks again for all your hard work Dana.  I'll echo everyone else that this was a great course setup and immediately goes into my top 10 courses that I've played.  I thought every hole was fun and offered a different challenge (except 3, which killed me with 6's both rounds). 

I really hope this can become an annual event and that the experience was positive for the golf course. 

Ratings seem a little low, but that might be due to the higher par, with each stroke accounting for fewer ratings points.  Just a guess.

was there that much change in the weather for the 2nd round? Herrens 60 in round 1 was 1006, but in round 2 that 60 was just 997??  I know the wind didn't let up that much, if at all for the 2nd round. It was actually blowing harder on #5 in round 2 than it was in round 1.  wierd however the ratings are figured.   but I will take that 997. maybe when ratings are official, it will be at least a 1000 rated round?

As the day warms up and people learn from their mistakes. It is not unusual for ratings to be lower second round. With a difference of less than 10 rating points, the SSA for the two rounds will be averaged together and the rating for R1 will be the same as R2.

A nice article was published in the local Ottawa newspaper as well.  Link below and props to Dana for inviting the newspaper out for the day to get the coverage.

plus, during the second round a 56 (1029) was shot by Al (rated 984). my guess would be that this and what krupika said might be your answer.

Having a higher SSA will definitely not result in a lower average round rating amongst the group.  However, I do think it results in a lower range (highest to lowest rating), which may explain why some of you perceive the ratings as being low (you are focusing on the best rounds, not the worst rounds).
