Tour Winner
The raters must not be members of the club being rated. Experience of the playing conditions or how the course is played by members is not part of the assessment. Everything is objective. Wind speed (and prevailing direction) is taken from local weather stations or other reliable sources. If a club claims it is a windy course they are asked to provide data.Add to this the assessors aren't normally members of the club and hence their experience of the playing conditions is limited.
