Scoring

How the result works

Score 2 for a made cup and 1 for stopping within one putter length.

Example: A player makes the 3 o'clock putt, misses 6 o'clock but stops close, and scores 3 total.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Putting toward laptops, glass, or foot traffic. Move the target before the first roll.

Safety: Use short controlled putts only; no full swings, chip shots, hard balls, or hallway shots across foot traffic.
