Do
you find that you're giving away too many shots early or
late in the round? Do you think the hole handicap difficulty
rankings of the holes on your course are unfair?
I've developed
a calculator that will determine the actual difficulty rankings
for a course. The calculator is a Micro. Excel Worksheet. It
will calculate the rankings, 1 thru 18, for different handicap
groups
(0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25+)
Once known,
you'll be able to have much fairer matches. For example, it
has been statistically verified that a low handicapper will
win more matches than a high handicapper, partly due to the
"official" hole rankings. Such a match, therefore, should be
played using the real hole rankings for the high handicapper.
This ranking identifies which holes are truly more difficult
for that player.

out more information about the statistics of hole rankings,

All you
need is some actual scores for your course. Input the hole
scores for the last tournament, men's or ladies night at your
course. The more scores, the better.

You won't be able to input any values, but you'll see the
layout of the worksheet and an explanation on how to complete
it. If you have any questions, just email me.
