Monthly Gross Gun - March 2016

[backintheswing]

For all the lower markers who don't carry sandbags and have no chance of having 44 points, this thread is for you.

Lowest "played to" handicap for the month is the winner. This will account for different pars on different courses and different ratings. If it takes off, maybe LarryLong can incorporate into his monthly interview.

(This is for you hoges)

BITS, can you keep a spreadsheet for this and send reminder PMs for people to submit their scores? You know you want to.

[mrbluu]

Sorry Dotty, I'll post here too but doubt it will hold up. Played Penrith today in the Vardon event and had my best ever round in relation to par +3 off the stick 75 scratch. Not sure what the payed to be, but I think it will be to scratch or 1.

Started on the back and had +4. Came home -1 on the front. Only 1 birdie but no doubles and no 3 putts.

The JetSpeed bb6 combo was awesome only missing 2 fairways all day.

I had a played to 2.7 on Friday, so your lead didn't last long.

But I notice a couple of claims in the monthly thread that probably beat me, so my lead won't last either.

That's okay.

I'm still in the running for a participation certificate.

[LeftyHoges]

You're a good egg BITS!!!!

[Hatchman]

I have as much chance of featuring in this one as I do in the the mega points thread, SFA.
Will enjoy reading the good scores thou.

[backintheswing]

You're a good egg BITS!!!!

So can you beat a played to of 2.7? I haven't had a comp round since January so I am no chance. Was going to play today, but the course is under water.

I did in Feb, does that count?

Unlikely to play a Comp round in March!!! :lol:

Not unless you start a February thread.

[backintheswing]

Mrbluu "played to" 0.9 today. What a gun.

[Steve57]

Im in the middle of Pennant season at the moment so no chance this month.
Well played Bluuey!

[live4golf]

4.2 :( Saddest part is that it made my top 8 scores.

Well played Bluu

[LarryLong]

I'm going to register a score this month so that I can say I beat Lefty. :)

After that I'm unlikely to be a big contributor.

Thanks mate.

[backintheswing]

First comp game at my home club since January on Saturday, and snuck in a played to 2.7. Doubled the last, so wasn't the best finish, but we played the last 3 holes in a tropical downpour and I couldn't even see where I was hitting.

Anyone else had a low round?

[Hatchman]

What's that? Not familiar with that question ��

Pretty good if the DSR was 81

[G.K]

How about 79 then?

Who am I kidding. I'll only get a guernsey in this thread if all you flusha's dont play for a month.

[simmsy]

or if they all play State Ams like JC.

I'm doing my part! :smt023

[Rodent]

I had a played to of 2.5 at Liverpool with two 3 putts grrr. Choked on the last hole with a 3 putt bogey. Won the comp by 3 shots :oops:
It looks like I'm on the podium awaiting Bluu's positive drug test.
Well done Bluu, great shooting.

Mate, you surely have shot better than 3 over somewhere. Of course you have! I just looked at your golflink. You parred Cabra for a played to +1. You also parred Stonecutters Ridge. How could you forget? They say it pays to have a short memory in golf.

I have shot a couple of even par rounds but not in a Vardon event.

[Rodent]

I have shot a couple of even par rounds but not in a Vardon event.Of course. I didn't realise you were a Vardon regular. I can but dream.
Mate, you must have played awesome considering your nett score was a podium finish out of over 200 starters. Top 10 scratch too.....awesome effort. Driver being on song is what led to my good round too. I just need to back it up a few times before I can be Vardon eligible :(

[backintheswing]

This is only for March 2016 guys.

He is short but I don't know about his memory!!:lol::lol:

I must be missing something. How can you shoot a 2 under 70 with a rating of 68 and it be a played to of 1?

[3oneday]

Slope?

[live4golf]

So far I have had 79 and 80...what's the booby prize?

[benno_r]

Off +1?

DSR was 69, slope was 115. Played to was 1.0

[Scifisicko]

Played to 4.0 Some burglar had 48 points and there went the DSR.

This club has a really weird setup,

Best card was mine at nett 66 then nett 68 then 72 and above but they had already decided the slope was 68?

I always thought DCR was set from 17th best player of the day?

Anyone offer light on this??

I think you're mixing it up with the old system.

The DSR is not longer the 17.5th percentile. It is much more convoluted than that.


DSR will provide golfers with a rating that is a reflection of the conditions they played under. The complex formulas will determine whether the difficulty presented at the time by the playing conditions was normal or different to normal.

[Scifisicko]

Some muppets programed a computer to predict what a given field should shoot and compares it to what they did shoot. From that comes the dsr.

So that's how only 3 players in field of 30 shoot under par nett and DSR is still 2 under par????

Makes complete sense!!!! Not!!!

[3Puttpete]

Yep. Scores on the day have little to do with it

[Courty]

So that's how only 3 players in field of 30 shoot under par nett and DSR is still 2 under par????

Makes complete sense!!!! Not!!!

This is why...


DSR = SR + SUM{(36+Par-SR-CPA-mh-b-S)/(m'h+b')2} / {SUM(1/(m'h+b')2) +1/CSD2}

:shock:

[Scifisicko]

The b-S part makes sense.

[backintheswing]

Updated the leaderboard.

And he hasn't even made the top 5?????

What was the DSR? I'm tipping it was 74 and that you played to 0.8, not 0.08.
Nice round. It looks like you've moved to the top of our leaderboard.

[live4golf]

Another played to 2.6 after screwing the pooch on the last couple of holes but it does not count :P

[LeftyHoges]

Shot 66 on Good Friday.

Was a 4-man ambrose, but I'm pretty confident all 66 shots were mine, so......

[davidw88]

Best I done for march was a played to 1.7 dsr was the lowest it has been that day.
