The Colleton River Tuesday Ladies Golf Points Game 

This golf game uses a modified Stableford format.   But there are important differences. This group has an 18 handicap limit. All first time player's quotas will be based on an 18 handicap (see #10 for explanation)

Rules:

1)  Players must sign up before 7:30 a.m. SATURDAY on our website to play on the following Tuesday.

 2)  Please check foretees Tuesday morning to see the TEE TIME for your team. Players will be randomly assigned to a team by the pro shop computer before play begins and score cards will be provided by the pro shop.  

3)    The entry fee is $12.00 per team, regardless if the team is a foursome or threesome. (The points quota for the threesome will be proportionately less, therefore evening out the chances for winning).4)    Each foursome (or threesome) plays as a Team against the other teams.

5)    Each player is awarded points based on her GROSS score for each hole as follows: remember,your handicap has already been figured in by the quota.

a.     Double-bogey or higher:  0 points

b.     Bogey: 1 point

c.      Par: 2 points

d.     Birdie: 4 points

e.     Eagle: 8 points

f.    Albatross:  16 points

6)    Each player will be assigned a point goal (or quota) for the 18 holes.  The point goals for the players in the threesome or foursome are totaled (this is done before play begins).  That result is the point goal for the team. The team that has the most total points relative to their quota wins.

Example:  Assume each of four players has a quota point goal of 15 (4 x 15 = 60).  The team has a goal of 60 points for the 18 holes.  Assume that each of three players has a point goal of 15 (3 x 15 = 45).  The team has a goal of 45 points for the 18 holes.

  7) The first time you play, your assigned point quota is based on an 18 handicap.  Thereafter, handicaps are no longer used!    Your point total assigned will be based on past performance. (See next Paragraph). 

9)    Point Quotas / Goals for Future Play:  Any player that exceeds the assigned 18-hole point quota by 4 points or more will have 2 points added to her most recent  quota the next time she plays.  If she exceeds by 3 points one point is added.  A point quota difference within the range of 0-2 will not change the player’s point goal.  Conversely, when a player misses her goal by four or more points, she will be assigned a goal two points less the next time she plays.  If the player misses the goal by three points, the deduction is one point the next time she plays.  You will be able to see your point goal (or quota) on the web site www.colletonladiesgolf.com when you sign up to play (see Players Points Quotas).  Point goals will be updated weekly.

10) This  group is open to everyone at the club. BUT, your STARTING quota will be based on an 18 handicap.   Example: If you are more than an 18 handicap, your starting quota will be calculated from the maximum handicap of 36.  Example:  36 - 18  =  18 points

Common Sense Rules:

1)    You may pick up your ball after you do not make gross bogey.  Gross double bogey or higher earns no points.   (If you pick up, record your most likely score for handicap purposes).  

2)    Select a captain for each group.  The captain will be responsible for scoring and will report on two things:  1) The team points earned  (a number plus or minus measured against the  total team goal, and 2) The number of points over or under the 18-hole assigned quota for each player in his group.
