Guys –
In effort to get our golf season organized, I am trying to give you information in advance so
that we can vote on how we want our Men’s Club league to be operated. Listed below are
several golf games, some of the games are self-explanatory so I just listed them and some
you may not be familiar with I tried to give a brief description.
Gold Ex – Gold Ex points will be given to all that play based on the number of participants
and your ranking of play. For example, 20 players play in the event, Player A wins and
would receive 20 points, Player B took second he would receive 19 points and so forth. I
would also like you to think about giving participation points to members that play in other
Club sponsored events.
Types of Games
1. Stroke Play
2. Best Ball
3. Scramble
4. Uglies – Uglies is a 2-person team game, both members of the team tee off - and
then play the worst shot in a scramble format.
5. Stableford - Stableford scoring systems are stroke-play formats in which the high
total wins, not the low. That's because in Stableford, your final score is not your
stroke total, but rather the total points you have earned for your scores on each
individual hole. For example, a par might be worth 1 point, a birdie 2. If you par the
first hole and birdie the second, you've accrued 3 points.
6. Shamble -A shamble is a type of golf tournament that combines elements of a
scramble with elements of stroke play. Like in a scramble, all members of a team
(usually four) tee off and the best ball of the four tee shots is selected. All players
move their balls to the spot of the best ball. From this point, the hole is played out at
stroke play, with all members of the team playing their own ball into the hole.
These are only suggestions; however I want to have a vote on our direction at the May 5th
meeting.
Thanks
David
