Lou Stagner’s stat of the week

[Backsticks]

I have my average score for each hole so I can post my stats for this. Home course, 2023 only, average amount over par - sorted by index and then by score:

SI 1: 1.42 SI 2: 1.22 SI 3: 1.28 SI 4: 1.31 SI 5: 1.14 SI 6: 1.22 SI 7: 1.03 SI 8: 1.00 SI 9: 0.85 SI 10: 0.86 SI 11: 0.69 SI 12: 0.67 SI 13: 1.00 SI 14: 0.69 SI 15: 0.79 SI 16: 0.69 SI 17: 0.90 SI 18: 0.42

SI 1: 1.42 SI 4: 1.31 ▲ SI 3: 1.28 SI 2: 1.22 ▼ SI 6: 1.22 ▲ SI 5: 1.14 ▼ SI 7: 1.03 SI 8: 1.00 SI 13: 1.00 ▲ SI 17: 0.90 ▲ SI 10: 0.86 ▼ SI 9: 0.85 ▼ SI 15: 0.79 ▲ SI 11: 0.69 ▼ SI 14: 0.69 ▼ SI 16: 0.69 SI 12: 0.67 ▼ SI 18: 0.42

A few anomalies then. Our stroke 13 plays harder for me I guess it's because it's an uphill par 3 and just long enough that it makes hitting the green a challenge.

Our stroke 17 used to be a short, driveable for some, par 4, but it had to be redesigned and a mid-length par 3, so that's why it plays a lot harder than it's current index. I was told by the captain that they're reviewing scores for the rest of the year and they will change the indexes at some point to reflect this change, because obviously it's a more difficult hole now.

Stroke 12 is a comparatively straightforward par 5 and under 500 yards. so perhaps it's SI should be higher than 12, judging by the fact it plays second easiest for me - although 11, 14 and 16 are all much of a muchness for me there anyway.

Its very close really. And some of the slight anomaly may be coming from know difference, but built in to satisfy the matchplay indexing guidelines.
