Individual streak (not team). A win is ≥6 points in the 12-point era (2019–) and ≥5.5 in the 11-point era (pre-2019) — ties count. Absences don’t break a streak; it continues where you left off.

The Recount 🔍

These pages are built from the original scorecards rather than copied from the old league site, so once in a while the two disagree. Every difference we've found is listed here — mostly twenty-year-old arithmetic done by hand on league night.

  • Most PointsScorecards disagree

    The 126.5* leader line was a typo — Keith Pomeroy won Most Points in 2023.

    Old site showed
    Leader line: Frank Gentile Jr. 126.5 (with an asterisk)
    Scorecards say
    Keith Pomeroy 124.0, then Frank Gentile Jr. 123.5 — which is what the old stats table itself shows

    Ruled by the commissioner (Aug 2026): the points don’t add up to 126.5 for anybody — it was a typo. Gentile Jr.’s rounds sum to 123.5, so Pomeroy’s 124.0 takes Most Points, and the record book’s 12-point-era mark is corrected to Pomeroy 124 (still set in 2023 — the next-best season ever is 119.5).

  • SkinsOld site disagrees with itself

    Nick Matwijec's skin count differs between the summary table and the weekly archive.

    Old site showed
    Season table: 2 skins · Weekly archive: 3 (one in week 6, two in week 11)
    Scorecards say
    2 skins — matching the season table

    The weekly archive's own week labels drift by one in that stretch, which is the likeliest cause.

  • SkinsCounted differently

    A substitute's tying score canceled a skin on the old site; league ruling says it doesn't.

    Old site showed
    Shaun Kaleta: no skin in week 12 — a sub tied his 4 on hole 4
    Scorecards say
    1 skin — Kaleta had the low among members, and a sub’s score neither wins nor cancels

    Ruled by the commissioner (Aug 2026): substitutes are not in the skins game, so their scores can’t win a skin and can’t kill one either. The old site’s habit of letting a sub’s tie cancel the hole explains this and a few single-skin differences in other seasons.

  • World Golf RankingOld site disagrees with itself

    The ranking counted penalty rounds that the same site's own stats table left out.

    Old site showed
    Pat Beckwith 5th (564.0); Eric Rothdiener, Shaun Kaleta and Kenny Dudeck also shifted
    Scorecards say
    Beckwith 2nd (575.0), with knock-on changes for Hughes, Kasper, Joe Hazeltine, Cotter and Gentile Sr.

    Four players missed the final week and took a penalty round. The old site's scoring and putting averages excluded those rounds — but its world-ranking maths included them, so the two tables on the same page were built on different numbers. Ruled by the commissioner (Aug 2026): only rounds you actually played count toward the scoring and putting factors, while the points factor counts every point however it was earned. Our ranking follows that rule.
