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

Time to bust out the Tecate's and celebrate Cinco de Mayo, everyones favorite American drinking holiday, with a round of golf.  You are going to end up with a 9 hole score by keeping your best two par 3's and 5's, along with your 5 best par 4's.  Now, some holes are better than others, so just play hard, and let me figure out which holes you are keeping.  Plus all the usual CTP, opt. Gross skins, play the blues, whites, yada yada yada.
