Handicapping AI-XIX

With the latest GHIN Handicap revisions out today, the AI Handicap Committee thought it timely to present the initial report for the projected participants in AI-XIX.  We will list indexes rather than course handicaps as the Committee is still researching the venue(s) where the tournament will be played and neither have we been able to find the proper calculations to translate these indexes for Wii Golf.............

Onward.

As of May 15, 2015

Robert Pease:   4.6 *
Mitch Burke:     9.8
Rich Heimsch:  11.1 **
Gordon:           16.3

For those of you organizing your betting strategy for AI-XIX, a couple of notes before you call Betfair.

*  that Mr. Pease's index is followed by an 'R' -  From the USGA website:   "R designates that a handicap has been automatically reduced for exceptional tournament performance.  A “reduced handicap” must be reviewed by the Handicap Committee and the committee may decide to let the reduction run its normal course, override the reduction or adjust the reduction."  Obviously, the USGA has never encountered Mr. Pease play during the pressure of an AI Tournament.

** that Mr. Heimsch has not posted a score in April or May.  This is a potential red flag in that, traditionally, no one plays more golf than Mr. Heimsch.
