Great week 7 of the league! All-time record of 34 folks came out and braved the fairly heavy snow - it looked like some of my favorite football games out there. Still no aces! This makes 17 weeks of league play that I've been running, roughly 250 player rounds, with not a single ace. Ace pot for both a regular ace and Davis Bounty (3s on all four of 3, 5, 6, and 9 Blue) will be around $100 this week. If no one hits the Davis Bounty, but for some reason we have two aces this week, I'll split both pools between the aces. I'm going to add a bonus bounty Week 9 if no one hits anything: get all 4 birdies on 6-9 both times at Westchester. Jake got the closest with 6 of them this week.
Surprisingly tough conditions out there - par was 13 points higher-rated than week 5 and 25 points higher than week 3. That's definitely why I donked a 10-foot par putt on hole 6 to start off my round.
James Beckner took down A pool for the second week in a row with a smokin' hot 43. Bill Brooks repeated in B pool as well with a 49. Shout out to Andrew Rodgers, who has come in 2nd four weeks in a row. Also to Dan Allen who just got promoted into B pool and managed to cash his first week there! Chad Solberg made the best of his relegation back to C pool with a resounding victory there - back to the big leagues for you next week!
I'm continuing to monitor the proper pools for the edge cases - feel free to message me if you think you're in the wrong pool; I'll consider your argument, but ultimately I'm just calculating what your PDGA rating would be if your past rounds plus rounds from this league were included. I'm giving it a week, too - I won't let just one great or terrible round pop you up or down.
