Does anyone know why the Old Course Hotel (built in 1968) is so close to the 17th hole?

What made them decide to put up a giant building nearly in the middle of the 17th hole?

Especially when there is so much land available and the building was not forced to be this close.

It's certainly interesting and different, just curious if any historians know what the thinking was?

That yellow line is 230 yards long and the end of it is only about 34 yards from where OB would be.

Everyone is good at something!

27 AQs in NCAA W golf and 20 conferences needed the AQ. That means that in those 20 conferences they did not have a team rank inside the top 52. Never seen this before!

[Dr. Katie Brophy Miles @KBroMiles]

@ewanports Awesome stuff. Keep it up and Merry Christmas!

[Dr. Katie Brophy Miles @KBroMiles]

I was featured in an article for @GolfDigest last week. It talks about how recruits should communicate with college coaches. I'd love for you to read it or pass it along to someone if you think it could help them.

What’s going on in Collegiate Golf is truly wild.

Imagine not having Top 25 rankings for College Football - that is what is going on in golf.

Golfstat provided college golf with live scoring and rankings for nearly 30 years.

And then, in July of this year - the NCAA told them they were done.

The NCAA signed a contract with Spikemark. Spikemark had zero experience doing live scoring or rankings.

Spikemark is a startup founded by former UCLA coach Derek Freeman.

The contract was signed this summer - and tournaments started two months later. No beta, no testing with events.

Seemed like a recipe for success.

Golfstat laid off employees and was nearing a shutdown.

College coaches began utilizing Spikemark for tournaments this fall. It was a disaster.

Spikemark wasn’t working properly. Coaches started to use other services like Golfstat and Golf Genius.

Spikemark didn’t deliver on its rankings deadline either. And they had a cybersecurity attack in early September.

Just last week - the NCAA announced that they were transitioning to Clippd.

Clippd makes sense - they work with over 100 college golf programs from a data standpoint.

Golfstat is now back alive. They have live scoring for nearly 50 tournaments on their home page.

I spoke to several coaches about the scoring issue. One laughed so hard and said it was a nightmare.

Another one hosted a tournament this fall and had to scramble to move to Golf Genius.

It’s a shame the NCAA didn’t do a better job of transitioning companies.

Hopefully we will see rankings from Clippd after the fall season.

[TUGR - The Coaches Rankings @TUGRgolf]

OWGR biases the #PGATour

@SpikemarkGolf biases big colleges over little colleges

Common themes from points-based systems that are rooted in the same philosophy.

TUGR solves these biases, gives everyone an accurate rank, based on actual performance, not a made-up points system.

“Adopting the .500 rule is great news for women’s golf,” said Campbell coach John Crooks. “Finally, the NCAA Committee addressed the issue with fresh new eyes. I would personally like to thank the committee members for doing the right thing.”
