abndave:Played the back 9 on kiawah twice in a row , par'd every hole both time's . My score went UP , that's a crock of *** , if anything it would have stayed the same .
Your avg is figured from the best 10 of your last 14 rounds, with the last 3 weighted heavier.
For an example ( not accurate, but just an illustration)
Say your last 14 were 66,65, 65, 73, 71, 68, 70, 72, 69, 70,68, 69, 70, 71 ...
your 4 highest rounds are tossed out and the avg is figured from the remaining 10... once now you shoot 2 even par rounds of 72, so now your last 14 rounds are:
65,73, 71,68,70,72,69,70,68,69,70,71,72,72 .... while those 2 par rounds get tossed out you also pushed a 66 & 65 round out of the equation, which would make the avg go up.
