Hello,

Over the years that I've been using Stracka, tees have come and gone for my local course. I've tried to be consistent as possible and always choose the same one. But sometimes I didn't have that choice, because they were removed. I have a lot of rounds for a specific course, all played on truly the same tees yet on Stracka they show up on 6 different tees. How can I changes this so they all show up on on set of tees? Can I get an admin to help?

Thanks,
Don

Here is the course I am referring to: http://www.ushandicap.com/golf..

When you select the course and before you select which tee you played from there is an option to report incorrect tees. Send the correct tees and they should fix it.

I'm aware of how to report incorrect tees. My question or issue is that the course has gone through a number of tees over time. I have scores posted from 2008 till yesterday. I'd like those scores to all be on the same tee in Stracka. It stinks when comparing my stats for a course and having to go through 6 different tees to see my course stats, even though I've only ever played the one tee.

What Don is questioning is the Statistics portion of Stracka. I have the same thing for a course I have played. He would like every round he has played be figured into his stats ... even though the tee information has changed in Stracka but he has not changed the tees he is playing from all along. He doesn't want to look in three places for his stats on the same tee.

Whether or not it will happen is another question. Good luck.

Yes, exactly! Thank you ArizonaBlue.

Yeah, I've noticed the same problem. Wonder if someone could figure out a way to set up a check box so we can select stats we want to compare. Not just tees that have changed on the same course, but maybe different courses that play similar, or all courses in a date range. Give the user a little more flexibility in selecting what they think is important or interesting to them.

So can an Admin provide some answers?

When a reasonable question is meet with persistent silence around here, it usually means either it's something they are working on but haven't figured out yet, or it's not something they are going to do anything about but just don't want to come right out and say so.

This is a difficult question.

On one hand, for handicap purposes you can't push all these rounds onto the same tee, because the changing tees probably did have updates to the index and slope information.

On the other, I understand what Don wants to do, compare his stats on that course and tees over time.

Otterman's suggestion is the best one I can think of, but it is far from perfect. If Stracka builds in the capability to select the courses and tees you want to compare, some variation in the data will occur just because of the changing tees and the way they added or took away from the course difficulty. So how do you do that so that the player can pick up on those differences? This would be even more pronounced if you selected a sample to analyze from different courses.

I get what you saying and would understand if it was the case, but it's not. People kept putting in different tees for the course. New ones would be available and old ones removed. The slope and rating was always the same.

The slope and rating may be the same in your case, but that's not always true in all cases. I have 20 rounds at one course, all from what is listed here as White or Middle tees. They are actually Black tees on the scorecard. But the slope and rating have changed over time at the course. 14 rounds at the old rating, 5 rounds at the new and 1 round which shows up as White-Middle that I am unable to figure out where it came from.

And yes, for awhile, people were just randomly entering tee box data at will. I think that has been changed. @ Mark, I think all we are really looking for here is the ability to see how many times we made par on a given hole, without too much regard to the details of rating and slope.
