Another Day in Paradise
How often does the USGA need to update a cours rating?
One course I play often has a very low rating, 67.0/110 whites, while the other two I play are much higher, yet the low rated course seems much more difficult and my course average there is 4 strokes higher. I talked to the course manager, a buddy, who said "yeah I need to have it done again it's been quite a few years ago".
Just off hand it seems like a course should have to have this done on a regular basis if our handicap is to be correct even if that is every 5 years or so. The trees here are much higher, the rough much deeper and the reeds/bullrushes along all the creeks are killer high.
