It's Rollover Time on the Scoreboard
|
|
It's that time of year when we say
good bye to our departing seniors and rollover
the rankings. As we do every August 1st, we
drop the graduated seniors from the rankings
list and this year we have made a change to
the rankings calculations as well.
Effective with the changeover, four
tournaments are required within the last 365
days for a junior player to be ranked. We had
actually been contemplating this for a while
but previously we were guarding against
penalizing families that could afford to play
a great many events or who had winter weather
to face a good portion of the year. Reviewing
the tournament availability in junior golf and
around the country, it was obvious that adding
a tournament to our minimum would not be
disadvantageous to players and their families.
In addition our rankings formula, while
unchanged, would produce a better assessment
of talent if it used more data. So there we
are. We continue to being committed to
providing exposure to as many players as
possible and, as always, your comments are
always welcome. Have a great rest of the
summer! |
