It's Official

Well, the final handicap revision has been made by the GHIN system and we now know exactly where the players stand as we careen towards AI-XVIII.

Two major moves have occurred since the last revision.  First, two-time Champion Paze is apparently starting to see results from his intensive 6 week instructional program at Bay Hill earlier this year as his index plummeted 2.4 points leaving him firmly atop the final ratings.  Second, Gordon managed to cleverly play enough rounds to have his previous best round drop out of his last 20 rounds and therefore send his index up by nearly 2 points.  Stan saw no change to his index, while Heimsch had a mild uptick that will not affect his course handicap.

Herewith the final numbers.  A note about the Combo Tees handicaps:  those numbers are correct only if everyone plays from the that tee box.  Should a player or players opt to play from the Yellow tees, players choosing to play from the Combos will lose two shots off of their handicap.
