Played taking the gross score on every hole.

Eagle = 5 points

Birdie = 4 points

Par = 3 points

Bogey = 2 points

Double bogey = 1 point.

Triple bogey or worse = 0 points.

Points over the 18 holes are tallied then the players daily handicap is added to the total score.

E.g Total points 23, Handicap 30, Score = 53pts.

Winner is the player with the most points.

Essentially this comp is a modified stableford. This information will be in the Pro Shop the day of competition, on the A Frame board before heading to the first tee as well as a copy being given to every group. I assure all members that I am making all the information available and as easy as possible. Worst case, I am ALWAYS available AFTER my round and when the afternoon field comes in from their rounds.

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Captain Tink.
