CALLAWAY
| Under
the Callaway System, a player's handicap is determined after each round
by deducting the scores of the worst individual holes during the first
8 from the gross score for 9 holes. The following table shows the
number of "worst hole" scores a player may deduct, and the adjustment
to be made, based on the gross score. For instance, if a gross score
for 9 holes is 61, the player turns to the table and finds that she may
deduct the total for the 3 worst holes scored on Holes 1 through 8
inclusive. If the player has a 10, a 9, and a 9, the handicap totals
28. From the handicap total, further plus or minus adjustment is made
according to the gross total, shown at the bottom of each column. For a
gross score of 61, the adjustment requires a deduction of 2, resulting
in a final handicap of 26. Thus 61 minus a 26 handicap equals the net
score of 35. |

CHIP POT
For
our league purposes, a "chip in" is defined as "holing out from off the
green." This includes any ball that is hit into the hole from the
fringe or farther away from the hole. At the end of the season, the
Chip Pot will be divided equally between all people who "chip in." If
you chip in three times, you will receive three portions of the pot.

-----------------------
MOST STROKES OUT OF THE SAND
Each
stroke a player takes to remove her ball from the sand is recorded. The
total number of strokes for the 9 hole round is reported. The player
recording the greatest number of strokes trying to get out of the sand
wins the game.
Back to Top --- Back to Schedule
-----------------------
MOST BALLS HIT OUT OF BOUNDS
Each
time the ball enters a designated out of bounds area, a point is
recorded. The total
number of points is reported for the 9 hole round for each player. The
player recording the greatest number of balls hit out of bounds wins.
Remember an out of bounds area is designated by white stakes, often on
the outside edges of the course property, but occasionally inside of
the playing area as a safety precaution for other golfers. The
ball must be touching or outside of the imaginary line drawn between
two posts designating the out of bounds area. Also, remember that
when a ball is hit out of bounds, the player must play another ball
from the same spot where the original ball was hit and count a one
stroke penalty.
Back to Top --- Back to Schedule
-----------------------
MOST BALLS HIT INTO THE TREES
Each
time the ball enters a wooded area, a point is recorded. The total
number of points is reported for each player. The
player recording the greatest number of hits into the trees wins.
The ball needs to come to rest amongst the trees. Hitting a tree
and getting a favorable bounce out, sometimes even to the fairway, does
not count as "into the trees." The ball does not need to be lost, and can even be played from the trees.
Back to Top --- Back to Schedule
-----------------------
MOST BALLS HIT INTO THE WATER
Each
time the ball enters a water hazard, a point is recorded. The total
number of points is reported for the 9 hole round for each player. The
player recording the greatest number of hits into the water wins.
Remember a water hazard includes the area inside the stakes marking the
hazard. This includes the rocks. The ball doesn't have to physically be
in the water.

-----------------------
MOST OF ANY NUMBER
Player who scores most 3's or 4's or 5's or 6's and so on. Should two
or more players score an equal number of one score, the winnings will

YARDAGE (Low & High)
In this game, when a player scores the lowest (or highest) on a hole
she is credited with a number equal to the yardage of the hole. The
player with the most yardage for low scores wins and the player with
the most yardage for high scores wins. The competition is between all
players competing on the same 9 holes. In the case of ties on any given
hole, the yardage is divided equally among all tied players.

-----------------------
PICK YOUR PRO PARTNER
The names of all 36 hole qualifiers (those who made the cut) from the
previous weekends LPGA event are entered into a lottery. Each golfer
draws a "partner" from the lottery. After playing the round, the
golfers 9 hole score is combined with the touring pro's 18 hole score
from the Sunday round to comprise the team result. For instance, the
scoreboard would look like this:
|
League Golfer - L. Davies |
56 + 70 |
126 |
|
League Golfer - A. Sorenstam |
50 + 71 |
121 |
|
League Golfer - D. Pepper |
48 + 74 |

Teams posting the highest and lowest scores on the front and back will be rewarded.
