Also, a click of the Player Breakdown link from this screen allows users the opportunity to view that particular team’s individual records as well as better-ball contests for each of the last four years. Wonder who scored the most points for your team in a year? How about who is the top singles player or better-ball partner? Curious of who is the top point earner at your club, regardless of team designation? In a click or two you can find the answer. All results (points earned) can be filtered and manipulated by division or overall and are defaulted to display with an individual’s accumulated point total for the particular parameters chosen (whether by division or overall). Each player’s singles and better-ball point totals are displayed as well as an individual’s point totals for the front nine, back nine, overall match and quarter-point bonuses. All categories are sortable. The top point-earner in GAP the last three-plus seasons? Need a hint. He represents Seaview Marriott Resort & Spa: Mark Kosko. How about who has scored the most points for Tavistock Country Club, the three-time defending GAP Team Matches champion, during its reign: Ron Cusick, Sr. And the top singles player in the Golf Association of Philadelphia in that time span: Peter Moran of Edgmont Country Club. So dive in and find your name or your friend’s name or see where you and your teammate rank. Enjoy the numbers, but watch out, there are enough stats to get lost.
