I'm EXTREMELY surprised at .5 points per par leading. I did not expect that. 

These guys are pros. They are supposed to make pars. haha

I haven't voted yet, but I'm pretty opposed to dropping the par points. Here's the problem with reducing the points for pars: the guy grinding out pars is worth less than the guy alternating birdies and bogies.

If a guy pars two holes, and another guy goes birdie/bogey, under the current system, they both get a point.

If we drop the par value to .25, the par guy ends up with a half point to the inconsistent golfer's full point.

I'm not a fan of that myself.

I guess that's one way to look at it too. But the reality is, guys are going to make a ton more pars than they are bogeys/birdies. Leaving it as .5 may make more sense in relation to par, but it will skew the scoring to favor the less explosive player.

Not to mention, every tour pro worth having has a scoring avg under par and makes more birdies than bogeys in general.

The avg tour pro makes about 4 birdies, 2.5 bogeys and 11.5 pars per round. Giving pars 50% of the scoring ability of a birdie would overrate it. 35% or .35 points per would be closer to correct. Since that wasn't an option I picked what was closest at .25.

I won't be this year thanks to my draft snafu haha, but yea last year was fun.

I've been debating making a second, non MGS associated money league for those interested though. It would be similar to the second money league we had for football 2 and 3 years ago. Not particularly expensive and a nice little added skin in the game if your watching golf.

Polls are closed. Both votes were much closer than I expected. We're going to keep Par value the same and remove the penalty for missing the cut. I'm just going to change the value to 0 so it'll continue to count cuts in players stats for research purposes. 

 

This change didn't affect the games from last week. Funny how the matches worked out that we've got 13 teams at 2-0, 13 at 0-2 and only 6 at 1-1. Will be interesting to see how this week shakes out. 

 

Poor @Low Country Golfer takes the slimmest loss of only 1 point (might've been a win if the par reduction passed) and @cnosil drops a 213 bomb for the highest score of the week.

Quit putting us on. We all know you're still a force to be reckoned with.

Two quick notes for those that may be feeling the same way:

1) It's a long season with lots of opportunity to bring it back. Especially since the studs don't play every week, the waiver game is crucial. 

2) A lot of teams make the playoffs in this format. Top 8 in each division to be exact.

Highest score of the week only gets you a win in one week.  I can be lowest score next week and go 0-2.  Like you said it is a long season  with lots of unknowns.

Thanks for using your votes everyone.

213 points.... good grief.

2 players in the top 10 with one in top 3 adds a lot of points to a total.

PGA was going to update their list before the tournament started, but in honor of Kevin Na they slow played it.

Ha! Wish I had the connections to know who to pay off!

I am normally not lucky enough to get a break so I'll take one when I can get one. Left a solid 50 points on the bench last week 😞

And yet it still may be better than my four.  I'm not feeling all that optimistic.  I might end up with negative points.

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!
