Chuck, serious question this time.

Jaybird Mount Pleasant Open Day 2

http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/73731

The novice men and intermediate women played short tees, which was an appropriate call for the course and their skills. However, there were not enough gators to produce unofficial ratings. There are some sub-800 players with quite a few rounds in their database. Do you think they might get ratings by some manual process like has happened sometimes at other tournaments where Intermediate and Rec women get short tees?

Just eyeballing the data, the players' ratings correlate strongly with their order of finish. Diana felt like her rounds were consistent with her current rating and she shot similar scores to two men with a similar rating, so ratings generated off the best non-gators here would be likely to be as valid as if there had been sufficient gators.
