Ask Chuck Kennedy

Please keep the womens ratings on the same scale as the men. This way women can know whether they can compete in Rec, Intermediate or Advanced.

I really hope this isn't under consideration by the PDGA or the Women's Committee.

Suzette, didn't mean to worry you, if you think this is a wrong idea. But if Chuck is right and all he has to do is add 75 points to create a women's scale, then there should be no problem figuring out Women's Rec, Intermediate and Advanced levels on that new scale. I'm not sure why you think figuring that out would be an issue.

Do you think there would be any benefit to a separate women's rating system which would put the women's top player ratings on par (so to speak) with men's top player ratings? Maybe it's just psychology, increasing the ratings by 75, but I'm also thinking it's just simply a more true representation of the skill level of a woman player to that of her group. I'd like to hear more about why you disagree.
