I am actually going through this now manually as I have got a bit behind. I have to do this manually as I haven't got a clue how to work out google sheets formulas, Mark (tarheelgolfer) was working on that before he left. I have got up to week 13 so hopefully should be back up to date week 17 this weekend. Keep an eye on this thread.

Another thing I don't know if you all have noticed - is how realistic our scoring has become. With the occasional very good score from some very good players (sloaner, booze comes to mind) - winning score is very realistic, even in benign conditions. And what I find so good now, is that it is very common to get a "bad" round or two for most players - which is very realistic. You get a fantastic 61 - but the next round, you can easily shoot 70+. I have seen the scores vary for all, with very few exceptions, and we get a winning score at -13 as it stands now.
My game was not "on" this week, in both the extra and in USE - and bang, it shows on the score.
I think the whole scoring here is very realistic, most people can't just coast good scores as there is a real challenge and it is easy to wreck a good round by making silly mistakes. Personally I do think short chipping from heavy rough has way too much spin, USE starts to get more challenging the tougher the shot when off the green. I thought the scores would get lower but I am impressed with the improvements overall which the handicap leaderboard really highlights.
Personally last week I putted superbly, not so great tee to green but when you are holing 10 to 30 footers consistently it really helps.91% medium putts is a good percentage over 4 rounds in this game and I was please with that.
This week my lag long putts over 40 ft was very good, the 61 was a result of very good approach play and holing alot of 5 to 10 foot birdie putts. Putting is so crucial to playing well and very challenging in this game without grids. Can we have 163 greens every week, love the pace of them
