Some Statistics from Frank Francese

·        Interesting Observances From the Westchester PGA qualifying round 4/23/12:

•  All Holes played to an average score above Par (including #3 – played as a par 5)

•  Our Banks’ showcase holes (5,7,9,12,&14) were all among the hardest six holes that all played more than a half-stroke over par.  The other one – the par 3 Number 11.

•  The only hole that did not yield a birdie – the par 4, 379 yard 9th Hole!

•  Personal surprise: Relative to par, 18 played easierr than 17. (as well as 10, 1, & 2)

•  While #3 was the “easiest” (5.03 avg. score), #16 being the second easiest (5.04)

• Surprised that #16 yielded an Eagle while #6 did not

• #1 had more Double-Bogeys than Birdies
