That is odd. The yellow tees at our course has a slope of 124 and the yardage is 5476.
Slope and distance are very different. I was speaking of slope and rating. They usually work hand in hand.

I guess the yardage confused me a bit. I would think a course playing 7000 would be in the 140+ slope category. At 5476 the rating and slope from the yellow tees at our course is 67.8/124.Slope and distance are very different. I was speaking of slope and rating. They usually work hand in hand.

This link has a good description of it: http://www.usga.org/handicapping/course_ratings/ratings_primer/Course-Rating-Primer/
In a nutshell, the course rating is how a scratch player would play the course, and is usually proportional to distance. The slope rating relates to how a bogey player would play the course. So the course that JRod played today had a high course rating, but the online map of the course didn't show very many hazards for bogey golfers to get tripped up with, so the slope rating is not as high as one may think.
To steer this back to the Morgan Cup, just take a look at the tees that we're going to play. The Watson course will be 6319 yards at 70.6/124, while the Nicklaus course will be 6537 yards at 72.6/142. The higher course rating on the Nicklaus course is understandable given the longer distance, but the big jump in slope rating probably is due to more hazards being in play at the Nicklaus course than the Watson course.
Hey fellow Morgan Cuppers, I hope you're all having a good weekend. I played in a 2 man 4 ball tourney with dad today, not sure how we fared as the results haven't posted yet. It was the first time playing since last Sunday when I set a new personal best (73). I played well today, shot a 76 (par 71, 13 pars and 5 bogeys) but it was my putting that really kept me from going real low today. I had 2 ugly 3 putts and missed a ton of birdie putts that were well within range that I should be making. I'm hitting the ball beautifully off the tee, only missed 3 FWs today, and right now I have tons of confidence with the Razr X Tour irons, I hit 12 GIR. I love where my game is at right now though, it was hot as hell and humid today, just what I needed. All in all it was a pretty good day out there.
Shot a 79 today on a 73.3/124 course at 7036 yards. Not bad, my driving was real sporadic.
74.....it was good, but not Aha good

PS- Congrats One-T.
You're definitely right about that. There are a lot of people shooting some good scores on both sides right now which is what we want to see, let's keep it going fellas.Man i so wish i was in this event, anyways sounds like it is going to be awesome because everyone is shooting lights out. From the looks of things every match is going to come down to the wire and then entire cup will as well.
