INDIVIDUAL STROKE PLAY – modified callaway scoring system

Rules

  1. All male players 18 years old and above must play from the WHITE tees.
  2. All female players must play from the RED tees. 
  3. All seniors (65 years old and over) and juniors (below 18 years old) must play from the GREEN tees. SENIORS/JUNIORS WITH HANDICAP 18 AND BELOW MUST PLAY FROM THE WHITE TEES.
  4.  Players must hit from their respective designated tee-box. 
  5. A player’s net score will be determined after the game by deducting the worst individual holes with corresponding handicap adjustments (see table below). 
  6. Maximum score per hole is DOUBLE PAR. 
  7. Upon completion of the game, four holes will be selected by drawing at random. The four holes will consist of two holes in the front nine and two holes in the back nine. These 4 holes will be taken out from the worst-hole count. Any score on these selected holes will not be counted. 
  8. The table below shows the number of “worst holes” allowed by the player’s gross score and the adjustment to be made based on the gross score. As example, if a player’s gross score is 100, the player’s 3 worst holes are deducted. Let’s say a worst score of 7, 10, and 10 for a total deduction of 27. In addition, the player’s adjustment to the deduction is a +2 for a total of 29. Then, the player’s net score would be 100 – 29 = 71. 
  9. Ties are awarded to the lowest handicap. Maximum handicap is 50. 
  10. In deducting worst holes with ½ of gross score, the lowest score of all the worst holes will be used to get the half.
