“Jonathan Cummings has for years been an inspirational mentor to the golf rating community. With The Rating Game, he has now established himself as the authority as well. An excellent, and much-needed, book.”—Josh Lesnik, President, KemperSports, and magazine panelist “Cummings provides a sound and insightful look inside the arcane world of golf course rating. Golfers love to argue over which is the best and why and The Rating Game will be a welcome addition to many over-heated debates.”—Gary Lisbon, President, GolfSelect; golf course photographer and magazine panelist “Jonathan Cummings is the Nate Silver of golf course ratings. The Rating Game will open up a lot of eyes about hidden mathematical distortion in the golf course ratings system.”—Bradley S. Klein, Golf Channel/GolfAdvisor.com “I’ve known and read Jonathan Cummings for over forty years. He always provides fair and distinctive insight into a course’s design and character (including some of my own). I applaud him for advancing the discussion in The Rating Game.”—Tom Clark, Golf course architect and Past President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects “If there ever was a golfer/writer cut out to analyze the course rating process, it’s Jonathan Cummings. I met him twenty-five years ago, after he sent me a fifty-page missive detailing every technical aspect of every course he had played in the last year. I immediately read The Rating Game, and his thorough, analytical style lays out everything you need to know about the subject.”—Jeff Thoreson, Editor, GolfStyles Media Group
What are credit rating agencies? Many people paying for ratings and ratings reports do not fully understand what they are buying and how these agencies really work. Ratings agencies wield immense power over the fate of individual corporations, countries, and whole economies, yet their workings are remarkably opaque. Many events over the past decade, such as the Asian crisis and the demise of certain financial institutions have highlighted some of the limitations of ratings agencies, and raised questions as to their accountability and the level of service they provide. In this comprehensive account of the workings of the rating agencies,Andrew Fight explains the role played by ratings agencies, how ratings are obtained, the methodologies through which organisations are assessed and the wider consequences of these decisions.
