| Players are required to keep both their competitor’s score on each hole and his
individual statistics (i.e. fairways hit, greens, etc.). There are
appropriate boxes on each scorecard for these stats. The best method is to check with the competitor after each hole to ensure accuracy in recording both
the player's score and the appropriate statistics for the hole. Circle ALL birdies and Eagles. This is particularly important for the skins game we run each week. In the “Fairways” and “Greens” boxes under each hole, simply mark an “x” in the box if the player hits the fairway or green. If he doesn’t, leave it blank. In the “Putts” box, mark down the number of putts the player made ON THE GREEN. Putts from the fringe, even if only an inch or two off the green, counts as chips, not putts. The “In Sand” box has additional requirements. If the player's ball lands in a greenside bunker, put an “x” in the box. If he gets up and down from the bunker, place a circle around the “x”. If a player leaves his first shot in the bunker, you put another “x” in the box. If he gets up and down on the second one, then circle the second "x.". If he fails to get up and down on neither, then leave just the two “x’s” in the box. Another example: If a player lands in a bunker, and then
blasts his shot onto the fringe of the green, and then holes the putt for
his par, the proper way of scoring that would be no "x" in the
green box, one "x" with a circle around it in the sand box, and
zero in the putts box. If you are in doubt as to how to record a statistic, then make a note on the card and ask for a decision after the round. |
