3 Clubs and a Putter

This is 3 Clubs and a putter, so you can only have 3 clubs (your choice...choose wisely) and a putter in your golf bag.

How it Works

  • Each player plays their own ball
  • You can only have 3 clubs and a putter in your golf bag
  • Maximum scores are applied to keep pace of play moving

Maximum Scores

  • Par 3: 7
  • Par 4: 8
  • Par 5: 9

Scoring

  • Players must putt everything out, no gimmies
  • Players should pick up once they reach the maximum score

Tiebreakers / Card-Offs

  • Ties are broken using the USGA scorecard card-off method based on net scores.
  • Comparison order: Back 9 > Last 6 > Last 3 > 18th hole.
  • Card-offs are applied within each flight.

Event Description

Welcome to  "Annual 3 Clubs and a Putter" golf tournament, taking place at the scenic Balboa Park Golf Course! Get ready to tee off on February 28th, 2024, but don't you dare bring your entire club collection - it's time to get minimalist!

Weather Forecast: Mother Nature seems to have a sense of humor too! The forecast for the morning of February 28th is sunny with a touch of whimsy. Expect a comfortable temperature, perfect for those who like their golf with a side of sunshine. Remember to bring your sunglasses, sunscreen, and maybe a hat that says, "I'm a serious golfer...with only 3 clubs!"

The Rules: You can only bring three clubs and a putter. That's right, just THREE clubs. Why? Because who needs a full set when you can challenge your golfing prowess (and patience) with limited tools? Choose your three clubs wisely – it's like picking your favorite children, but harder.

The Comedy: Having more clubs doesn’t always mean lower scores, it just means more options to blame for your bad shot! Ever heard someone say, “I would have hit that better if I had my 7.5 iron”? Neither have we. So, in the spirit of fun (and a bit of sarcasm), we’re keeping it simple.

Teeing Off: We'll be hitting from the white tees – because let's face it, we're not all PGA pros. The white tees are like the middle child: not too intimidating, but still a challenge, especially when you're trying to decide whether to use your hybrid, iron, or just throw the ball (just kidding, no throwing allowed).

Remember, it's all about strategy, creativity, and a little bit of luck. Who knew golf could be a mental game? Oh wait, every golfer ever.

So, grab your favorite three clubs (plus a putter), wear your most outrageous golf attire, and get ready to swing, miss, laugh, and maybe even hit a few good shots. See you at the first tee!
