Does the established par of a course for a tourney have any bearing on ratings, or does it only matter your score relative to everyone else? Last week I shot my second round (tentatively 1001-rated) on a course that was a par 58. Unfortunately the TD copied the par from the first round (56) for that 2nd round, so instead of finishing the tourney at +1, I finished at +3.
Personally I don't care at all about the + or - strokes, but will the rating be at all different when the proper par is allocated to that final round (knowing it's only a difference of two strokes)?
