I played around with the Ratings Calculator and removed scores that were more than 30 rating points below a Player's Handicap (6 scores from the SE round, 1 score from PRO). The scores could of been sandbagger rounds. By doing that, the SSAs dropped to PRO 53.90 and SE 53.40.

Looks like a few bad rounds effected the SSA by about 1/2 throw on the SE, which would be more like expected. Also, I think the weather and overall player moral (wet,cold,etc) was worse the second round (SE), which could contribute to another full throw. Remember the fire station holes were especially hard with the wind and OB on both sides of the narrow fairway.

Overall, it was still a great day for winter golf.
