Handicaps based on player ratings

They are!

Yardbird · #3 January 31st, 2012, 08:54 AM

Players' Handicaps are updated on the TDG website the week before each Event. And Yes, they include all rated rounds from the current TDG season with the exception of very poor rounds that are greater than 60 points below a player's handicap (see rules for more details).

More rated rounds in a player's handicap equals a more accurate Handicap.

Handicaps should start to stablilize now that two Events have been played.

Captains,
Please use the official Event Handicap sheet to determine a player's handicap for a match. The sheet that gets handed out at the Captains' meeting is the same as posted on the website the week prior to the Event.

Even with the pouring rain, the first two events of the season have been some of the most fun disc golf days I've had. BIG thanks to all of you who are putting in the work to make team golf the most dollar for dollar fun available anywhere.

I'm making an early prediction that Jub Jub will be nominated as coach (not captain) of the year regardless of the moose's overall finish. His management of the diva-like personalities on the Spartacus squad is reminiscent of Phil Jackson's prime in the Shaq/Kobe days. Complete with an inspiring post game pep talk, I was lucky enough to witness as an outsider. The only thing he hasn't pulled out (yet) is orange slices for after the game.

I will agree to the above, as long as I get to be "Karl Malone". Greatest power forward to play the game, arguably. Gold medals, league MVP multiple times, no championships, great nickname. That has got to be me..

Sorry buddy, you'll have to settle Vlade Divac.

Besides, the mail man doesn't deliver on Sundays.

Hey Dan, how did we do on Sunday?

I checked espn.com and couldn't find the scores, and they're not up yet at the watdg.com site.

The standings might not be updated yet, but the round ratings are.

Looks like the rain and wind added a couple of throws to the SSA for each layout.

Mr. Anderson · #11 February 1st, 2012, 02:39 PM

Wow! Steily SE played harder than Pro. I did not expect that. I guess the weather got worse as the day wore on.

Yardbird · #12 February 1st, 2012, 10:41 PM

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.

The saturation point was about halfway through the second round and the wind picked up a bit.

I think the NW course canopy would've made for a slightly easier second round due to the conditions, but I didn't see how many branches, if any, were still on the ground over there.

Um, just promise to spare us the short shorts on the course, eh?

Rolly · #15 February 22nd, 2012, 10:54 AM

No promises
