Chuck,

I'm thinking something's goofy in the Yetter Cup ratings (official - that just came out). I base this on the following:

a. The tentative ratings were QUITE a bit higher (like 10 rating points per round average) than the "official", and

b. The REAL reason I say this - that a score of X in, say, round 5 for a Pro equates to the same rating as a round 5 X for an Am...and they played totally different courses with totally different OBs (even if they DID play the same course - which they didn't).

What's the scoop?
