Well that was a crazy week! Mixed precipitation falling and mixed scores - a whole bunch of people shot amazing rounds, and then a bunch of people also shot way worse than they normally do. Joe Caissie (me) managed to get an ace two weeks late, and got paid a whopping $28. I hit hole 2 on a force-over shot with my Shryke that faded in from the right side and flared up into the basket.
A Pool saw James Beckner just absolutely light the course on fire with a 13-under 41...but relative to his rating, that was only the 6th most impressive round in A Pool. The top honor goes to Cody Humphrey, who shot an 8 down, 55 points above his rating! Andrew Rodgers continued his improbable and impressive streak of second place finishes. A note here - ratings this week were about 25 points lower than last league. Normally the PDGA smooths things out, so your round ratings will probably go up.
B Pool saw the best handicapped round shot by anyone this weekend, with Tyler Pohler's 45.67 adjusted score. Chase Powers and Chad McCaffrey also shot rounds that would have won A pool, but had to settle for second and third, respectively.
I'll get payouts to folks later this week.
A couple of notes: the "fair" handicap at Westchester this week would have been 13 points...I'm going to mix the scores from this week in with the scores from the previous league to determine if we need to go to 13 rather than 12. I did a test and only one order of finish would have changed this week if we did 13 rather than 12, so it's not that important. Here's the spreadsheet if you want to look at it. I've updated the player handicaps for next week already. If your player rating is in red or yellow, that means it's subject to change.

Also, let's remember to follow PDGA rules since this is a sanctioned event. That means that if you leave mid-round for a non-medical reason, you will be getting an 888...that hurts your player rating a fair amount. Another important thing is to mark your lies and tap out all of your putts. That means that even if the disc is sitting under the basket, you can't pick it up unless you've marked it. These are little things, but it's important to all play by the same rules so that we're all on a level playing field.
