Rules

Stableford Format:

  • Teams of three or four are selected based on total handicap
  • Total handicaps should be as close as possible across all teams
  • Count all strokes up to double bogey
  • Count all putts made on the green
  • Bogey = 1 point, Par = 2 points, Birdie = 3 points, Eagle = 4 points and Hole in one = 5 points
  • The team score is the sum of all the points won plus the players’ handicaps.
  • High score wins

Closest to pin:

  • Each week a different hole will be designated the money hole.
  • The player’s ball must land on the green from the first shot from the tee.
  • Players will mark or measure the distance. Remember to pick up your marker at the end of the round!
  • If nobody lands on the designated green, the pot is added to the Twilight Challenge pot for the end of the season

Fewest Putts:

  • Only count putts made on the green. Puts made from the fringe or fairway are not counted.
  • Any ball struck on the green is considered a putt regardless of the club used.
  • Ties will be settled by either a sudden death putt-off or splitting the pot evenly.
