Questions about course and slope rating

[trackster]

After doing a quick google search I cam across an article that explains the process of calculating it.  For course rating they look at a scratch golfer ( defined by a golfer who hits at least 250 off the tee, can reach a 470 yard hole in 2, and plays to a scratch).  They look at the landing area 250 yards from the tee on each hole and look for hazards and difficulty in this area.  To determine slope they look at a bogey golfer (hits about 200 off the tee, can reach a 380 hole in two, and plays to a 17-22 handicap).  Likewise they look at 200 yards off the tee and assess the area.  That was a really dumbed down explanation, just google it for yourself for more details.  Now my questions.

1.  Does course rating take into effect course management?  For example, say you have a 350 yard hole and at the the 250 off the tee mark there is water to the right and bunkers to the left.  However, at the 225 off the tee mark there is a wide open fairway.  Is the hole still considered pretty difficult because of the 250 landing area, when any smart golfer would lay up?

2.  How does course rating take into effect the par of the course.  My home course is par 72 and is rated 72.1/122.  A course I play 100 miles from here is par 71 and rated 72.0/122.  Would it be correct to say that the 100 miles away course is harder due to it being one less par, but only 0.1 less on the course rating?

3.  I know that a slope rating of 113 is equivalent to a course where a "bogey golfer" should shoot bogey golf.  How do increases in that number work?  For example for each one(1) increase in slope rating, how much worse should a bogey golfer due on that course?
