for the course ratings from the Iowa Golf Association.
We will have
4 ranking
dates during the Fall 2008 season. The first ranking will be due by
Friday August 22nd. . The other dates will be
Friday, August 29th,
Monday, Sept. 15th,
Monday, Sept 29th, &
Monday, Oct.13th (after State meet).
The May 30th ranking will be used to determine the IAHSGCA All-State
teams. Only players who coach is a member of the
IAHSGCA will receive All-State honors.
We will rank all individuals and all teams in each
class that meet our team/individual standard. We will post these
rankings on the web site but will only send in the top 10 individuals
and top 10 teams to the media.
Remember:
18-hole rounds are broken into two 9-hole rounds and the course rating is
divided in half for each 9 hole score.
All BOYS ranking information will be sent to
RJ Voss.
Ranking
information needs to be submitted by NOON on on the reporting date.
TEAM &
INDIVIDUAL
RANKINGS INFORMATION
The Iowa High
School Golf Coaches Association would like to create and publicize high
school golf rankings of high school golfers. These rankings are an
attempt to create excitement and give exposure to our high school
golfers. This ranking system will be
used to help determine the Iowa High School Golf Coaches Association
All-State teams.
1. Each coach
is responsible for computing the scoring average of their individuals
and teams - the above spreadsheet will help you with this.
a.
An
individual's score for rating purposes will be based on the USGA/IGA
course rating of the course played and the score actually shot. You can
go to the Iowa Golf Association web site (www.iowagolf.org/)
or use the enclosed listing of course rankings to find the course
rating. Compare the course rating of the course you played
to the par of the course and find the
difference. If the course rating is more than
par, subtract
par from the course rating and
subtract this difference from the individual's score. If the course
rating is less than par (this will
be the case in most instances) subtract the course rating from
par and add the difference to the
individual's score.(EXAMPLE: Playing
a 9-hole match the golfer shoots 37. The course rating is 34.6. The
difference between 34.6 and 36 (if that is par
for the course) is 1.4. Since the course rating is less than
par, 1.4 would be added to 37 and
the score to consider for rating purposes will be 38.4)
b. If you play
a 9-hole meet on an 18-hole course, the course rating will probably be
for 18-holes. For the 9-hole meet, divide the (18-hole) course rating
by 2 for the 9-hole course rating. If you play an 18-hole event, use
the 18-hole course rating; this will now count for 2 meets.
{Example: A
player shoots a 37 in a 9-hole event on an 18-hole course (par 72). The
course rating is 69.9. The calculated 9-hole rating is 34.95. The
score to consider for rating purposes will be 38.05. (36 - 34.95 = 1.05
+ 37 = 38.05)}{Example: A player shoots 74 in an 18-hole meet
(par 72). The course rating is 69.9. The calculated score is 76.1, but
it counts as 2 scores of 38.05 (76.1/2)
c.
If you play
on a course that is not rated, then use the "standard of
difficulty" which is one stroke less than par. If you play a non rated
course with par of 36, use 35 as the course rating on the spreadsheet.
d. We will
base the rating on 9-hole scores. If you play 18-hole matches, put them
down as two scores. If you play another number such as 12 holes, count
the first 9 holes of play and drop the last three; after you have played
three 12-hole matches you would have another 9 holes of play that you
could figure in. If you play match play and have golfers who you feel
could be in the rating, they will need to hole everything out and keep a
medal score.
2. We will set
a maximum standard for boys, girls, and teams. If you have an individual
or a team that shoots this standard or less, you will report this
individual or team. The standard for boys will be 45, girls will be 55.
The team standard
for boys will be 180, while the girls will be 220.
3. The
ultimate scoring average for your individuals and teams will be to use
their accumulative scores.
Team
Rankings
6. The
standards for teams will be a calculated 220 for girls and 180 for boys. This is based on
your low 4 individuals. (Whether you count more or fewer scores than
this in your meets is immaterial. We will use 4 for our ratings). We
also have had a hard time getting ten teams in some of the categories.
So if your team score is close, get it turned in. {Example—your
team plays a 9-hole dual meet at a course in which the course rating is
a 33.2 on a par 36.
Player 1 shoots
a 35 Calculated score is 35 + 2.8 = 37.8
Player 2 shoots
a 38 Calculated score is 38 + 2.8 = 40.8
Player 3
shoots a 39 Calculated score is 39 + 2.8 = 41.8
Player 4 shoots
a 41 Calculated score is 41 + 2.8 = 43.8
Player 5 shoots
a 41 Doesn’t count
Player 6 shoots
a 45 Doesn’t count
Calculated Team total is 164.2
Please include
your team record when reporting your team ranking.
7.
All coaches are
strongly encouraged to "play the ball down" in matches and tournaments.
