Things to remember when scoring a match
It is your responsibility to score your match. It is not the responsibility of the commissioner. For those of you unfamiliar with our scoring, I hope this helps. If you have trouble, there are always veteran league members available to help you. | |
Always include first and last names and team numbers. | |
Once the match is scored, a member from each team must sign the card. | |
Once the card is signed, the points will stand. | |
There are a total of 6 points available each week. |
Player A vs. Player A = 1 pt for stroke play | |
Player A vs. Player A = 1 pt for match play | |
Player B vs. Player B = 1 pt for stroke play | |
Player B vs. Player b = 1 pt for match play | |
Team 1 vs. Team 2 = 1 pt for stroke play | |
Team 1 vs. Team 2 = 1 pt for match play |
Stroke Play is decided by the total gross score for all 9 holes minus the players handicap. | |
The team member with the lower handicap is always the 'A' player. If team members have the same handicap, they can choose who the 'A' player is. They must announce their decision before teeing off. |
