predicting outliers is fun. yeah, if there were 100 rounds played by 1000+ rated players, I think the course record would be 73 -- especially after the course has all rubber tees and the fairways/greens are broken in. but what does that really tell us, statistically speaking?
maybe a better way to think of it: on a typical day in an organized event, what score would warrant a 900-rating? 950? 975? 1000? 1025? 1050? Here are my guesses for two years from now, after 1000 rounds and 2 PDGA B-tier tournaments have been played:
900 - 96
950 - 88
975 - 84
1000 - 81
1025 - 79
1050 - 77
I can't remember the mathematical assumption of these ratings. It's something like one stroke for every 10 points on an 18-hole course...? (My guesses are based on just guessing, not any conscious formula.)
Any idea who might be hosting said tournaments?
