  When playing ranked games 90% of the time I would be at par or under sometimes six even up to nine underpar but my average would only drop .01 to .02 and sometimes not at all 

   Today I played a game where I was one under par My average dropped .03 the next game I played I was five under par and it dropped .04 

   It just so happens The games where they dropped.03 and .04  where  ranked games 900 and 901  does turning over ranked  games into the 900s drop your average quicker

  You might have just saturated as a Legend meaning that no matter what score you post, your average will not go up.

  Also keep in mind, it's not how many under you are that affects your average but rather its the score you post.

  i.e. -9 means nothing towards average, but say 63 certainly does.  For 9 hole ranked rounds your score is doubled so a 30 actually = a 60 as far as averages go.

  You played some 60, 70, 62, 70 recently (scores doubled for average calc.)

  Think math class and remember which of these scores would reduce a 68 average?

  Nope. You'd have to count your Legend scores, where "saturation" happens at 500. Before, calculation is linear (high school math), afterwards, it's non-linear. It may have happened right now(?)

  You may ask if you care for details. But then, please refer to full scores!

  If saturated, all of them could ;-)
