This one was more difficult to do this year for a number of reasons:
1. Par has to be either "72" wins or "90". (4 out of 9; or, 5 out of 9). The last many years were easy because our pre-season pythagorean was pretty close to 72 wins. But, this year, it's more like 81-82 wins. If it's 81, then par is 72; but, if it's 82, then par is 90. I'm going to go with this website's pre-season prediction of 80 wins by the REDS http://www.bucsdugout.com/2010/3/4/1...entral-preview , and that makes it a Par 72 course (which means we might end up like 18-under or more for the year, with lot's of Eagles and Double-Eagles along the way, and possibly an Condor, a rare hole-in-one (one a par-5).)
So, with 4-5 over a 9-game stretch (for you first-timers, 9 times 18 equals 162) being "Par", 5-4 being "Birdie", 6-3 being "Eagle", 7-2 being "Double-Eagle" and 8-1 being "Condor", let us proceed. (If we go 9-0 over that "particular" 9-game stretch, I'll worry about what to call it when we get to it, and of course, 3-6 is a "Bogey", 2-7 is a "Double-Bogey", 1-8 is a "Triple-Bogey", and 0-9 (Heaven forbid that happens, but it's a "Quadruple Bogey".)
