This week is position round,
next two weeks are the play offs. We have a rain date built in should we
need it.
If we don't use the rain date
we will need to vote what to do.
These are the options;
Best Ball $5.00 In
Definition: Along
with the scramble,
"best ball" is one of the most popular golf tournament
formats.
Best ball can be played using 2-, 3- or
4-person teams. Each player on the team plays his or her own golf ball
throughout the round, and on each hole the low score - or "best
ball" - of the group serves as the team score. Player A gets a 5, B
gets a 4, C gets a 6, D gets a 6, then the team score for that hole is
4, because the low score of the group was B's 4.
Scramble $5.00 In
Definition: The
Scramble is one of the primary forms of tournament play for golf
associations, charity events and the like. A scramble with 4-person
teams, handicaps are not applied. In a scramble, each player tees off on
each hole. The best of the tee shots is selected and all players play
their second shots from that spot. The best of the second shots is
determined, then all play their third shots from that spot, and so on
until the ball is holed.
When played as a foursome, teams are
usually constructed with an A player, B player, C player and D player,
with those players designated based on handicaps. The A player would the
low-handicapper, the D player the high-handicapper.
Bingo Bango Bongo at $1.00 per
point
Definition: Bingo
Bango Bongo is a points-based game that can be played by any number of
players, from two up.
In Bingo Bango Bongo, three types of
achievements are rewarded with a point. The first player in a group to
get his ball on the green gets a point (bingo). The player in the group
whose ball is closest to the pin once all balls are on the green gets a
point (bango). And the player in the group who is first to hole out gets
a point (bongo).
Add up the points at the end of the game,
high points wins.
Bingo Bango Bongo gives weaker players a
chance to earn points because what matters is being first at something.
For example, all members of the group tee off on a par-4. The player who
hit the worst drive (farthest from the hole) plays first, and so has the
first shot at winning the bingo point.
So, too, with closest to the pin. The best
players in the group are likely to be on the green in two (or three on a
par-5), while the weakest players might be chipping. The
closest-to-the-pin point is only earned once all balls are on the green,
so the player who has hacked it up the fairway may be sitting just off
the green and chipping - giving that player a great chance to pick up
the bango point.
Because of these factors (and because the
first person putting will be the one farthest from the hole), strict
etiquette must be enforced. The player who is away always plays first.
Any player winning all three points on a
hole wins double points.
