I’ve been hearing some discussions about the Quota Performance metric that replaces the Super 18. It’s also closely related to how those with low Quota’s perform substaintially better than those with higher Quota’s.
Here’s a graph of the actual stats. It’s updated through Week 6 sans Antos/Carrigan match.
Some Points to note:
- A little less than half the league (16 players) are 10% above or 10% below their Quota to date.
- 80% of the players (29) are withing 20% of their Quota to date.
- Flight 3 is the most distributed of the flights. That also fits with the historical play of Flight 4 – extremely unpredictable scores, but few rounds/holes of low scores. One Player below 70% of their Quota to date and three players over 130% of the Quota to date
- Flight 1 is the most tightly grouped of the flights. Again, this fits the historical play of Flight 1 golfers – More consistent play. In fact, most of Flight 1 is performing ABOVE their Quotas.
To the point that those with low quotas perform substantially better….this is somewhat true. While a super low Quota (2 or 3) has higher performance, it appears a low quota (4, 5, 6) doesn’t really improve performance. Here’s some examples:
Bobby Mo – Week 7 Quota: 3, Quota Performance: 200%
Bill K – Week 7 Quota: 2, Quota Performance: 177.8%
Bobby Z – Week 7 Quota: 4, Quota Performance: 116.7%
Joe Donegan – Week 7 Quota: 5, Quota Performance 68.6%
Tony Massa, Dan Mahar, Jim Morgan – Week 7 Quota: 6, Quota Performance: All three at 81%
Just something to think about…
