Event Format How it Works
Keep Your Better Half

An individual event where only your best holes count.

How it Works

  • Each player plays their own ball for all 18 holes
  • A 9-hole score is created using your best holes by par type:
    • Best 2 of the 4 Par 3s
    • Best 2 of the 4 Par 5s
    • Best 5 of the 10 Par 4s

Key Details

  • Net Double Bogey maximum per hole
  • Round is still postable, so all holes must be played and scored

Scoring

  • Your final score is the sum of your selected 9 best holes

Tiebreakers / Card-Offs

  • Ties are broken by the difficulty of the 9 holes that made up your score.
  • Each hole has a stroke index from 1 (hardest) to 18 (easiest). The stroke indexes of your 9 scoring holes are added together to produce a single tiebreaker total.
  • The lower the total, the better the tiebreaker, because a low total means your score was built on harder holes.
  • Example: a par on the #2 stroke index hole counts more in your favor than a par on the #12 stroke index hole.
  • Card-offs are applied within each flight.

Event Description

A regular individual event with a twist.  You will be keeping your best 2 scores on any of the par 3's and par 5's, plus your best 5 scores on any of the par 4's to end up with a 9 hole score.  A really good 9 hole score, if history is our judge.  Same $20 entry, same CTP's on the par 3's (hopefully), same optional Gross Skins for an extra $20.  Just more work for me to figure out the winners.  You don't want to miss this fun event!
