If nobody chose the correct winner with their first choice, we repeat the process for everyone's second choice.

I'm not clear about how this possible scenario will be judged :

Suppose that 2 people have the correct winner , and one of them

chooses a score 2 shots better than the winning score while the other

chooses a score 2 shots worse . Since both scores are equally near

the correct score is it a tie , or does one or the other

choice carry more weight ?

Thanks for clarifying ,

Michael

I believe the person who posted their prediction first would win.

" If nobody picks the correct score, the winner is the first person to have the closest score for the correct winner"

I believe that part means that it is the first person to pick the closest score..so if two people picked the closest score (within 2 strokes) the first to pick would win.

Contest closes at midnight eastern time zone (just over two hours from now). I probably won't be awake to officially cut it off, but that's when it is, so get your entries in by then. 2h10m left.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
