Possible error in ratings found: 1101 rated round could be higher

[eddie_ogburn]

Chuck, I was looking at the Virginia Open ratings today and I noticed that the am and pro scores have the exact same ratings when we played different courses at the grange. Seeing as how the ams were playing an eaiser course(sunny side) when the pros were playing the harder dark side, the 1101 round Skinner shot could go up. You guys may want to check on this, I could be totally wrong.

Contact the TD. We can't possibly know whether course layouts haven't been submitted correctly on the TD reports but we can fix it if the TD sends us correction info.

How's Morley's issue going?

[eddie_ogburn]

If anyone reading this knows how to get ahold of Ted, you should probably do so. This IS the greatest round ever shot. It deserves a correct rating.

How's Morley's issue going?

The course assignments have been confirmed to be correct. However, Roger is looking into why the average of all of the round ratings for those on a course were lower than the average of those players' ratings. If anything, every player will get more points when he figures out what happened since it seems isolated to this event. I would guess somewhere between 10-30 pts per round but that's a rough estimate.

[ANHYZER]

I guarantee you that par was 61 the first round and 58 the second. I hope that the ratings go up at least 60 points, 30 is not enough.

[ck34]

Roger also saw that there were 19 holes instead of 18 so that will be corrected, too.

[ANHYZER]

Thank you.

This IS the greatest round ever shot.

Better than Geoff Lissaman's -17 round at the Worlds?

I haven't seen the course Lissaman shot at worlds....but a 41 at this course IS the greatest tournament round played of all time.

I've said this many times, but I think Larry Leonard shooting a 34 at a course in a practice round is the greatest round of all time....I don't think anyone can ever come close to shooting a 34 anywhere (other than a par 2 course) ever again.

Probably. The SSA on Rum Village was so low for tournament rating calculations it's quite possible an 1100 round was impossible unless it was maybe -19 or lower.

[the_kid]

Yeah Rum village is easy. I was mad shooting a -8. Then again two holes out there are not dueces unless you get a fairway ace or something so -17 is still sweet.

Yeah I'm pretty sure. When you break the course record by 5 stokes when numerous 1000+ rated players play it every year including:

Ron Russell and Cam Todd in their prime (Round 2)
Walt Haney and Larry Leonard (Round2)
Schweb and Mike Moser (Round 4) <-- Craig Gangloff broke/set the record here last year

Ask any of these guys if they thought a 41 was even possible on this course. The answer you will get is 'No. Maybe in doubles'.

When you played it earlier this year, the course is way different than it was in 96. It was much shorter. Matter of fact, I heard that hole that he missed is actually the short pin placement for what is now hole 13, the first one across the road. Its a 330' hole. Hole 14 which is the second hole across the road didnt exist and hole 9, the 600' down hill didnt exist either. But I agree with you man, -8 is a disappointing round out there, anymore.

Skinners round at the Grange is much more impressive than the Lissamen's 37.

There were also 39's and plenty of 40's at Rum Villiage

There were plenty of 42's and 44's when Skinner shot that on the Grange

Nothing to disrespect what Geoff did at S. Bend

best round ever on darkside at grange (other than skinner's 41) was 46. this is on a course that has hosted several supertours as well as numerous b tiers, etc. i told brian after the round it was going to rate out as the best ever.

So does that mean that my 1002 rated round could potentially increase to a 1012-1032 rated round? That would make me laugh!

[ck34]

It was already corrected in either the Jan or Feb update.

Oh, wow, sorry, I'll start reading post dates

Oh, wow, sorry, I'll start reading post dates

It's still showing up as 1101 - is that final?

[ck34]

Morley was corrected but that wasn't the event with the 1101. That's the Virginia Open in May 2005.
