fairly new player who has no idea how courses are rated.....much help needed, considering them pros shoot over 1000...i was just curious how they were rated....

And i know every course is different with a different rating, but im sure you guys know where im going with this one..

A course gets rated when there is a sanctioned tournament there. Its rating changes every time there is another tournament. Check out www.pdga.com/documents/04RatingsGuide.pdf (http://www.pdga.com/documents/04RatingsGuide.pdf)
