Here’s a fun scoring system you may want to add to your golf league! |
If you are in a golf league this year – add another unique scoring system from “the little golfing guy” and have some fun as you work your way to a special 18-hole score by the end of the year.
Here’s how it works:
THE LITTLE GOLFING GUY’S “FUN” SCORING SYSTEM
After each 9-hole round of your league – gather together all of the score cards at the “19-hole” or whatever (favorite watering hole) your group likes to go to after your round. Bring with you 9 playing cards – the ace through the 9 card – which will represent holes 1 through 9. Place them face down on the bar or table – and then have your lovely bar maiden turn over one of the cards. Whichever card she turns over – (let’s say it’s the 5 card) – then whatever everyone shot on the 5th hole that day will be their score for that week.
(And when a golfer isn’t able to play a certain week – those absent golfers will receive a score that is the average score for that week plus 1 penalty stroke. So if the average score that week is a 4 – golfers who are absent that week will receive a score of 5.)
Continue doing this for 18 weeks to eventually complete your 18-hole score. Have a spreadsheet that will record each golfers score for that week for weeks 1 through 18. Then the golfer with the lowest 18 hole score wins! In the “little golfing guy’s” golf group – we have a special “Medalist Trophy” that the winner receives and gets to keep all year. And to add a little spice to the competition – you could also have all the golfers throw a “friendly wager” into a pot and the low score would also win that as well.
So have some fun this year and add this scoring system to whatever golf league you are in.
