7 GAMES WE PLAY Match Match is any game where the contest is played against a specific opponent and each hole is won, lost or halved. In a Match tournament the field will be broken down into flights based on handicap or qualifying tournament scores. Medal (Stroke ) Medal (Stroke) is any game where the contest compares the total scores of all teams (or individuals) against one another. Low Putts Least number of putts taken once a player s ball is on the surface of the green. lack Marks The object of the game is to stay in bounds, out of hazards, away from sand, out of water, and to hole the ball in two putts or less once on the green. A game that makes you concentrate on where your ball lands. The player with the least black marks wins. Place a Dot on the scorecard above your score for the hole for each black mark assessed on the hole. A black mark is assessed for each of the following: * Not hitting your ball at all (whiff) * Hitting your ball out of bounds * Hitting your ball into a lateral hazard** -- 2 nd, 3 rd and 4 th shots taken to get out of the hazard scores a black mark each *Hitting your ball into a bunker (sand trap) -- 2 nd, 3 rd and 4 th shots taken to get out of the bunker scores a black mark each * Taking more than 2 strokes on a green to hole the ball -- 3 rd, 4 th and 5 th putts taken to hole the ball earns a black mark for each. ** Ties: In case of a tie we will start at hole 18 and the player with the first hole without a black mark wins. Holes with more than one black mark does not matter in breaking the tie it s the player with the first hole without a black mark that is declared the winner. Chapman/Pinehurst Scotch oth players will tee-off. ers then hit their partner s tee shot. The best ball is selected at that point and played into the hole with all shots alternating between partners. Modified Net Stableford Stableford is a scoring system where scores are measured against par for a point value. The player earning the most points wins. Using a player s net score on a hole, points are earned as follows: Double Eagle 7 Eagle 5 irdie 3 Par 1 ogey 0 Double-ogey -1 Triple-ogey -2 The Stableford system may also be modified to eliminate the negative scores. The Men s litz does not use the negatives. The key is to apply the scoring system consistently. Long and Short On 2-player teams, one player plays the long game while the other plays the short game. This game allows each player to use her best abilities. Alternatives/Options: Rotate long and short play on odd and even holes. Peoria After all players have teed off, six holes are selected (preferably two par-threes, two par-fours and 2 par-fives). After players finish, total each player s score on the six selected holes, multiply by three, and subtract par for the course. This determines that player s Peoria handicap for the day. Subtract that amount from the player s gross score to determine her net result. Example: er shoots 32 on the six selected holes; 32 x 3 = 6. Assuming a course par of 72, 6 minus 72 equals 24. If player shot 3 for the day, her final net score would be 6 (3 minus 24). Perfecto The player with the most points wins. Points are earned as follows: Hits the fairway off the tee par 4 s and 5 s only 1 Point Hits the green off the tee par 3 s only 2 Points Hits the fairway on 2 nd shot par 5 s only 1 Point Hitting the green in regulation par 4 s and 5 s only 1 Point Hole out, with two strokes or less 1 Point

8 Scramble Each team member will tee-off and the best drive of the team is selected. All team members will move their balls to within 1 club length of the best ball and all play the second shot from this location. The best second shot is selected and the procedure is repeated until the ball is holed out. Alternatives/Options: Each team player s tee-off shot must be chosen a minimum of 2 times during the round. The player whose shot is selected must sit out the next shot. Putting can be excluded from this option. Shamble All players play from tee. est tee shot is selected. All players play their own ball from selected shot into the hole. The best net score or scores are used for the team score. Most airways Hit er who hits the most airways on all holes and the second shot in the fairways on par 5 s wins. Max score for holes is 11 airways plus 2 second shots. If you hit the green on the Par 3 s, that counts as a airway hit. In the event of a tie, the winnings are evenly split. Alternatives/Options: Each team player s tee-off shot must be chosen a minimum of 2 times during the round. Skins The value of each skin is determined before the round. When a player wins the hole (by scoring the lowest), she wins the skin. One tie/all ties result in no skin being won. Alternative/Option: The value of the tied skin is carried over (added) to the next one (progressive skins). Hawthorne s Red White and lue ers tee off from all three tees following the color scheme Red White and lue. The line-up is as follows: Hole 1 Red (orward) Hole 2 White (Men s front tee) Hole 3 lue (Men s back tee) Hole 4 Red (orward) Hole 5 White (Men s front tee) Hole 6 lue (Men s back tee) Hole 7 Red (orward) Hole 8 White (Men s front tee) Hole lue (Men s back tee) If played during Week-end, the selected ront or ack nine designation does not apply
