Hot Rounds, November 19 - 25, 2008
Every week we post a list of the highest rated rounds for the last week in PDGA tournaments. The list is posted after midnight every Wednesday. Therefore, if you played in a tournament and the TD does not post the results by Wednesday 11:59 EST, you will be excluded from this list - sorry (don’t yell at me; bug your TD). Please note that all rounds listed here are unofficial and will not be adjusted after the PDGA ratings update.

Know someone listed here? Let them know they’ve made the list and that they’ve won a good old fashioned pat on the back. But seriously, well done, and keep it up.
Tournaments that did not make the deadline: Japan’s 20th National Championships
Did we make a mistake and leave someone out? Let us know below…
Micheal Johansen Shot a course record 51, a 15 under par score, on Lake Reidsville’s Lake’s Edge Longs. This is rated a 1055, but his rating was really hurt since he was the only 1000 rated player in the field.
Congrats Michael!
Although it’s a popular myth, it makes little difference in a round rating whether you are the only 1000+ rated player or there are 20 playing a round. Case in point, Darrell Nodland in North Dakota has maintained a rating between 1035 and 1040 for 8 years while rarely playing against players with more than 970 ratings.
whatever chuck.
