Are You A Potential Bandit?

Heres three more data points for your graphs (for the family).

Player 1
PBR = (26.1 – 23.7) = 2.2
IR = (28 – 23.7) = 4.3

Player 2
PBR = (33.0 – 29.9) = 3.1
IR = (36.1 – 29.9) = 6.2

Player 3
PBR = (1.4 – (-2.1) = 3.5
IR = (2.7 – (-2.1) = 4.8
We take note that the very low handicapper has the largest bandit rating (although not a bandit)

Where are all the high handicap bandits that we've been hearing about all year. I wonder?
 
Loads of bandits out there. One well known Irish trilby tour legend consistently wins big prizes and his handicap continues to go up not down.
 
PBR - 16.1-11.9 = 4.2

IR - 18.4-11.9 = 6.5

I think thats alright after 18 months. The 18.4 should easily fall of in my next comp, ive improved a lot since then.

PBR : 3.0 - 1 = 2.0

IR : 4.2 - 1 = 3.2

Whatever that means
 
Bandit…Yes probably - for the time being…but again probably only in matches.

Until my best 8 gives a better refection of my stretch ability, and I have cleared the dross out of my last 20 as there is a load of dross in there as I have been working on the transition from old swing to new swing.

So … in my most recent match with PH of 10 I only dropped 6 shots in 16 holes of match play - and won on 17. My triple on the 2nd would have seen me dropping 9 in strokeplay…and against a PH of 10 that’s not banditland.
 
Are you a potential bandit with a huge difference between your best score and your average score?

Do these two simple calculations and let us compare ourselves.

I’m not trying to prove a point I merely thought this might stimulate some amusing comments.

Potential Bandit Rating = Handicap Index minus Best Differential

And

Inconsistency Rating = 8th Best Differential minus Best Differential

Me:

PBR = (3.0 – 1.9) = 1.1

IR = (5.2 – 1.9) = 3.3
Pbr (7.7 - 7.5 ) = .2
IR (8.0 - 7.5 ) = .5
