Just a little scoring backround that likely doesn't matter to anyone but geeks like me. Long time official scorer for NCAA Golf, Golfstat, lost the contract this year to Spikemark. Spikemark hasn't had an auspicious debut as the site has been down all week. GolfGenius is handling the scoring for this tourney. Looks fine but doesn't have some of the details Golfstat did.
