Miffed at how Bob was able to make the putt, Jim gets distracted and hits his birdie putt six feet past the hole. Frustrated that he hit the ball too hard, Jim left his second putt 1” short, leaving only a tap in for a score of bogey 5. If you don’t hole out for any reason, then the scorecard either shows no score or any score that would mean the hole is lost. For course rating purposes, a handicap for a bogey golfer lies somewhere between 17.5 – 22.4 for men and 21.5 to 26.4 for women. Bogey comp is (somewhat bizarrely imo) actually defined as a Strokeplay competition - in Rules of Golf. Provided all other conditions apply, Congu encourage/require Bogey (and the rarer Par) comps to be qualifiers. The change in attitude is interesting but not one I like - though maybe should try more. I'm much happier taking the 1 point rather than being aggressive to halve and possibly score zero points. The bedside lamp, nightlight, passage light, street light, and even the moon light help you to see around the room... until they go out.

If anyone knows her players’ physical limits it is veteran Giants coach Julie Fitzgerald and she would be loathe to run her prime movers into the ground this early in the season. Each measurement is adjusted to account for roll, wind, elevation changes, altitude, dog-legs, and forced lay-ups.These scores have to be complimentary if the player is to gain any value from the '1-pointers' or nett-bogey in the handicap portion of the round. Par” represents the number of strokes an expert golfer is expected to make on the hole or course. Every golf hole has a “par” assigned to it. Most holes are either a par 3, par 4, or par 5. On a par 4, an expert golfer is expected to take 4 strokes to get his ball in the hole. If you make a 4 on a par 4, you have just tallied a “par”. A player who breaks any rule that carries a maximum per-round penalty must report the violation before turning in his scorecard; otherwise, he’s disqualified. When such a violation is reported, two points are deducted for each hole on which he broke the rule, up to a maximum of four points per round for each rule broken.

As well as your main event have a few side bets to keep interest up. Decide your own value for units and don't get carried away. It's meant to be fun not financially life threatening! Oozles & Foozles Players play in groups of three of four. All drive and then select the best shot and mark it. Everyone then hits the next shot form this point. Repeat procedure with each shot until you hole out. This event is played off handicap and if you do not have special tables, add all the teams member's handicaps together and divide by ten. Deduct the handicap from the final total. Bloodsome Scramble To this extent, the game of golf makes basic assumptions about the strategy a golfer will employ to record a score of par. For instance, a par 3 assumes the golfer will hit their first shot onto the green and putt the ball into the hole with two additional strokes. All penalties that apply in stroke play also apply in Par Bogey – except for the following five examples where you won’t be disqualified but you will lose the hole where the breach happened.

Extreme mulligan golf where your handicap converts into the number of mulligans you receive. So if you have a 6 handicap you get 6 mulligans during the round to replay any shot. However you must use your opening tee shot and you cannot replay a shot twice. Everyone then plays off scratch and the lowest score on each hole wins. Metoo You win and lose holes, as you would in match play, by comparing the number of strokes taken for a hole against the fixed target score set by the committee. Triple eagle (4-under par on a hole) – 6 points; double eagle – 5 points; eagle – 4 points; birdie – 3 points; par – 2 points; bogey – 1 point; double bogey or worse – 0 points.

My question (not a Rules one - a Congu/handicap one) was about net single bogey - which would score 1 point in a stableford comp. YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED THE QUESTION about how credit for those scores, if made, can be given if the player doesn't hole out and the marker record it!

Disqualification under any of these rules means disqualification from a bogey, par or Stableford competition: Rule 1-3 (Agreement to Waive Rules), Rule 3-4 (Refusal to Comply with a Rule), Rule 4 (Clubs), Rule 5-1 or 5-2 (the Ball), Rule 6-2b (Handicap), Rule 6-3 (Time of Starting and Groups), Rule 6-4 (Caddie), Rule 6-6b (Signing and Returning Score Card), Rule 6-6d (Wrong Score for Hole, unless the violation doesn’t change the result of the hole), Rule 6-7 (Undue Delay; Slow Play), Rule 6-8 (Discontinuance of Play), Rule 7-1 (Practice Before or Between Rounds), Rule 11-1 (Teeing), Rule 14-3 (Artificial Devices, Unusual Equipment and Unusual Use of Equipment), Rule 22-1 (Ball Assisting Play), or Rule 33-7 (Disqualification Penalty Imposed by Committee).

A bogey golfer is a golfer that averages near a score of bogey on every hole. If par for an 18-hole golf course is 72 then a bogey golfer’s score will average around 90. Successful bogey golfers adapt their strategy when playing any golf course. Eagle", a score of two under par for a given hole, was clearly the extension of the theme of birds for good scores from a " birdie". It would be natural for American golfers to think of the eagle, which is their national symbol and the term seems to have developed only shortly after the 'birdie'.You can also set up a Bogey or Bust tournament so that this game is the entire object of the tournament: golfers literally stop playing after making a bogey or worse. This version greatly speeds up completion of the tournament, but also results in many golfers stopping play very soon into the round — maybe even after the first hole. Basic golf etiquette demands that you wait until the golfers in front of you are completely out of the way before hitting your shot so you don’t hit them with your golf ball. But if you hit a wild shot that flies toward golfers on other holes, bystanders, or spectators, you must yell “fore” loudly to warn them about the incoming ball.
