Hit-Line Freeze

Any person or cart past the hit line freezes the swing. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Any person or cart past the hit line freezes the swing. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Any person or cart beyond the hitting line freezes the next swing immediately. Leave an unreleased turn open and resume it without a score or quota penalty only after the facility permits it and the line, bay and landing area are clear. Never swing to finish a turn while someone occupies the area. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Hit-Line Freeze as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Hit-Line Freeze; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Picker Pause Bonus

Calling a clear picker pause for the group earns 1 shared sportsmanship point. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Calling a clear picker pause for the group earns 1 shared sportsmanship point. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: When a ball picker is working nearby, call pause and stop all affected swings. A clear prompt group pause response earns 1 shared sportsmanship point in the group pool, not one point for every caller or an individual ledger. It does not separate individual grid totals. The stop is required even if no point is recorded; never encourage another picker approach. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

  • Reset and rotate evenly after Picker Pause Bonus; stop at the agreed finish condition.
One-Ball Turn

Players hit exactly one ball per turn in order. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Players hit exactly one ball per turn in order. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Use exactly one ball per person’s turn in the posted order for all ten cycles. A target quota of ten never means ten rapid swings together. Observe and record the current ball, then clear the swing space before the next turn. No extra speed or early-finish point is added. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby.

  • Score One-Ball Turn as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after One-Ball Turn; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Declare Target First

Say the target out loud before every scored ball. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Say the target out loud before every scored ball. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Before every scored ball, the player says the chosen target zone or precision flag aloud. An undeclared ball uses its ordinary quota slot and scores 0 even if it reaches a valuable target. The recorded call cannot be supplied after landing; necessary access communication may use the agreed equivalent method before the shot. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

  • Score Declare Target First as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Declare Target First; stop at the agreed finish condition.
No Boundary Fences

Boundary fences, buildings, and parking are never legal targets. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Boundary fences, buildings, and parking are never legal targets. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Boundary fences, buildings, parking and people are never grid targets. A player choosing such an aim stops play before swinging; any prohibited shot is void for 0 and receives a safety reminder before further play. A visible sign is used only if the facility designates it as a target. Do not replace a missing far target with a boundary. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

  • Score No Boundary Fences as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after No Boundary Fences; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Bay Neighbor Courtesy

Wait if your swing timing crowds an adjacent beginner bay. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Wait if your swing timing crowds an adjacent beginner bay. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Wait whenever timing would crowd an adjacent beginner bay or a neighbor needs clear swing space. The wait costs no challenge points or unreleased attempt. Resume only after clearance, with the ordinary declaration and score chart; do not give a timing advantage or rush to recover the delay. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

  • Score Bay Neighbor Courtesy as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Bay Neighbor Courtesy; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Center-Third Bonus

Finishing in the center third of a corridor pays +1. Compatible host: Fairway Finder Gates.

  • Finishing in the center third of a corridor pays +1. Compatible host: Fairway Finder Gates.
  • Compatible host: Fairway Finder Gates. Choose only existing facility-designated references for three progressively tighter landing corridors: about 100 yd, 150 yd and 200+yd. Write the near/far/side boundaries on a bay sketch; the last corridor is the house 25–30 yd width, not a claim of an official tour standard. Give five balls per player per gate. All finish their five Gate 1 balls before Gate 2, then Gate 3. A legal shot passes between that gate’s visual side references and lands within its continued permitted corridor; a farther landing may count if still in that corridor. Unclear or outside results do not qualify. Each legal Gate 1 ball earns 1, Gate 2 earns 2, Gate 3 earns 3. Five legal balls at one gate add a 2-point sweep once for that player: Gate 3 perfect is 5×3+2=17. Highest total after all 15 balls wins. For a tie, tied players take complete equal one-ball cycles at Gate 3; after a cycle, a sole player with at least three playoff hits wins. If multiple reach three together, continue tied players equally until a hit separates them, or share when play must stop. Selected rule: Divide each announced corridor into three visible equal-width parts before the station. A ball satisfying that gate’s ordinary legal-corridor rule and finishing in its center third adds 1 challenge point. Corridor edges remain in bounds for the ordinary value. This selected+1 replaces the host’s optional declared Gate 3 stripe+2 rather than stacking both. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Center-Third Bonus as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Center-Third Bonus; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Opposite Shape Token

Once per round, force yourself to play the opposite of your natural shape. Compatible host: Shape Call Draw Fade.

  • Once per round, force yourself to play the opposite of your natural shape. Compatible host: Shape Call Draw Fade.
  • Compatible host: Shape Call Draw Fade. Agree a designated center target and visible landing zone. From each permitted hitting position, agree examples of draw/fade/straight as observable house calls; do not use them to aim outside the target area. Provide eight balls each and one declared-call row per ball. Before each shot call a shape and, when seeking its higher award, name the target flag. Hit only when the bay and landing area are clear. The group judges the actual shape and legal flag-zone result from the bay. A correct called shape earns 1 challenge point; correct shape plus the called flag-zone hit earns 3 instead. An incorrect shape earns 0 even if near the flag. No addition of 1 and 3 on the same ball. After eight equal balls, highest shape total wins and ties share. Do not use a harder or unfamiliar physical shot as a required tiebreak. Selected rule: Before the eight-ball game, each player may identify their ordinary draw or fade; one ball in the game may be predeclared as its opposite. A confirmed opposite shape adds 2 challenge points to that ball’s ordinary 1 or 3 result, even if the called flag is missed. A failed shape adds no 2. A player without an identifiable natural draw/fade need not invent one or change handedness. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Opposite Shape Token as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Opposite Shape Token; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Club Cap Station

One station bans the longest club in your hand. Compatible host: Three-Club Challenge.

  • One station bans the longest club in your hand. Compatible host: Three-Club Challenge.
  • Compatible host: Three-Club Challenge. Each player selects exactly three controllable permitted clubs and leaves the rest in the bag. Choose six designated target zones that those clubs can cover. Before scoring, record one group-agreed appropriate club for each player at each station, based on that player’s ordinary controlled carry; this is a house judgment, not an equipment fitting. At each station take two balls using only the locked three clubs. Declare the chosen club before swinging; the recorder checks it against the already posted station choice rather than deciding after a good shot. An on-station ball earns 1 challenge point. Using that player’s preagreed appropriate club earns a separate+1 on that ball, even if the landing misses. Record landing and club-choice awards in separate columns. After six stations and twelve ordinary balls, highest total wins and ties share. Club-choice points and landing points stay separately visible. Selected rule: Before one named station begins, identify each player’s longest-carry club among the three they selected and ban it for that station only. “In your hand” means their locked carried selection, not whichever club they happen to pick up after hearing the ban. Confirm another controllable club can reach the permitted target; post any appropriate-club bonus choice before shots. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Club Cap Station as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Club Cap Station; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Three-Quarter Max

All balls this twist round are three-quarter swings max. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • All balls this twist round are three-quarter swings max. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: For the selected ten-ball round, use swings no longer than the agreed three-quarter length. A full-send swing uses the attempt and scores 0 even if the landing matches. This is a controllable house constraint, not a measured safe-effort guarantee; stop for unsafe footing or a facility warning rather than merely shorten the swing. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Three-Quarter Max as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Three-Quarter Max; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Honest Long Call

If you think you are long of the zone, call it before anyone else does. Compatible host: Hundred-Yard Zone Ladder.

  • If you think you are long of the zone, call it before anyone else does. Compatible host: Hundred-Yard Zone Ladder.
  • Compatible host: Hundred-Yard Zone Ladder. Identify four designated landing zones nearest 80, 100, 120 and 140 yd. Sketch clear depth and side boundaries and a narrower pin-high depth band within each. Allow three balls per player per zone and declare the whole target/band chart before scoring. Proceed nearest to farthest, one ball per player in rotating turns. Each ball is aimed at the current rung’s declared zone. An in-zone finish counts only against that rung’s posted band; judge from the bay. An in-zone ball earns 1 challenge point. If pin-high was called before the swing and the ball finishes in that posted narrower band, it earns 2 instead; misses 0. Each zone offers three ordinary attempts. After all four zones, highest total wins and ties share; nobody gains points for a zone merely being skipped. Selected rule: If the player sees their own ball finish long of the posted zone, they may call long before anyone else calls it. A confirmed truthful self-call earns that player 1 integrity point in addition to the actual ordinary landing result, which remains 0 for a long miss. Record the award by ball; do not change the zone, pretend a miss was a hit or make a deliberately unsafe shot for recognition. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Honest Long Call as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Honest Long Call; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Closest Measures Quiet

Proximity debates pause for a calm second look. Compatible host: Fifty-Yard Ladder Climb.

  • Proximity debates pause for a calm second look. Compatible host: Fifty-Yard Ladder Climb.
  • Compatible host: Fifty-Yard Ladder Climb. On paper choose five visible designated short targets near 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 yd, using available flags/greens and their posted landing zones. Wedges and short irons only. Give each player two balls per rung and record eligibility separately from proximity points. Everyone starts eligible at rung 1 and takes two balls before the next rung opens. A legal in-zone ball qualifies the player for the following rung. After no legal ball, still offer the next rung’s two practice balls to qualify for its following rung, but award no proximity point on the ineligible rung. Compare only eligible players’ legal balls. The closest eligible legal ball earns 1 challenge point on each of rungs 1–4 and 2 on rung 5. Indistinguishable closest legal results each receive the rung award; no legal eligible ball means no award. Judge from the bay or facility display only. After the five rungs, highest ladder points wins and ties share. A missed rung does not erase earlier points or authorize range-floor retrieval. Selected rule: Pause a disputed proximity comparison for a calm second look from the bay or facility display. Loud arguments freeze posting until the host rules using the same visible references. Never walk onto the range to measure. If legal results cannot be distinguished, use the host’s shared closest award; an unobservable landing is not invented as legal. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Closest Measures Quiet as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Closest Measures Quiet; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Junior Forward Mark

Less experienced players may use a forward mat mark. Compatible host: Mixed-Skill Handicap Lanes.

  • Less experienced players may use a forward mat mark. Compatible host: Mixed-Skill Handicap Lanes.
  • Compatible host: Mixed-Skill Handicap Lanes. Split into A/B skill lanes by honest self-rank. B players get a wider corridor or closer target; A players play tour-width targets. Same scoring card. At each of six stations, every player takes one ball at their pre-agreed lane target. A players use the narrower or farther zone; B players use the wider or nearer one. Mark an inner A-zone center before the station begins. These are agreed house handicaps, not a guarantee that the two difficulties are equivalent. On-target scores 1 in either lane; A-lane center hits score +1. Highest total after six stations wins — mixed skill on one leaderboard. Selected rule: For less experienced adult players, the facility may approve a nearer mark within the permitted hitting position and behind its safety boundary. Agree and record it before ball 1; no creeping after misses. This is a less-experienced adult format. If no nearer hitting mark is permitted, retain the assigned legal position and use the host’s closer designated target instead. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Junior Forward Mark as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Junior Forward Mark; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Team Reset Sweep

End-of-round pickup of loose tees, bottles, and trash scores +1 team point. Compatible host: Team Scramble Range.

  • End-of-round pickup of loose tees, bottles, and trash scores +1 team point. Compatible host: Team Scramble Range.
  • Compatible host: Team Scramble Range. Form teams of two or three and choose six visible, designated target zones with agreed boundaries. Everyone hits one ball at each station. Before hitting, each team names two counting players; on a three-person team rotate that pair so each player counts at four of the six ordinary stations. The optional lone-wolf station replaces that station’s pair with one nominee. Other players’ balls are practice only. Discuss the target, name the counting pair, then take one shot per player in a safe fixed order. Record the best of the two nominated results before proceeding to the next target; do not select the counting players after seeing their shots. At least one counting ball on target earns the team 2 game points; otherwise 0. If both counting balls hit, record 1 optional sportsmanship point on a separate ledger, excluded from the winning game total. Highest game-point total after six stations wins; ties are shared. Selected rule: Use two-person teams for this selected modifier. After the six target stations, each pair clears its permitted bay of loose tees, bottles and ordinary trash, with all swings stopped and no range-floor retrieval. Host verification earns that pair 1 team challenge point, once, added to its game total before comparing teams. The host’s distinct two-hit sportsmanship ledger remains separate. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.

No Phone Swing

Phones stay in pockets during the swing window. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Phones stay in pockets during the swing window. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Phones stay pocketed during another person’s swing window, apart from a needed facility/access setup arranged beforehand. If the active player rushes their own shot because a phone rings, that ball scores 0 and uses its ordinary slot. A ring itself does not penalize an unrelated player; stop and regain readiness before the next shot rather than force a rush. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them.

Shape Then Target

Call shape first, target second, then hit. Compatible host: Shape Call Draw Fade.

  • Call shape first, target second, then hit. Compatible host: Shape Call Draw Fade.
  • Compatible host: Shape Call Draw Fade. Agree a designated center target and visible landing zone. From each permitted hitting position, agree examples of draw/fade/straight as observable house calls; do not use them to aim outside the target area. Provide eight balls each and one declared-call row per ball. Before each shot call a shape and, when seeking its higher award, name the target flag. Hit only when the bay and landing area are clear. The group judges the actual shape and legal flag-zone result from the bay. A correct called shape earns 1 challenge point; correct shape plus the called flag-zone hit earns 3 instead. An incorrect shape earns 0 even if near the flag. No addition of 1 and 3 on the same ball. After eight equal balls, highest shape total wins and ties share. Do not use a harder or unfamiliar physical shot as a required tiebreak. Selected rule: For each of eight balls, say the shape first, then the named target, then swing. If either part is omitted or reversed, the ball’s otherwise earned ordinary result is capped at 1 instead of 3; it can still earn 0 for a failed shape. The call cannot be repaired after release. Required safe communication remains available. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay.

Two-Club Pocket

Carry only two clubs to the mat for a station. Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night.

  • Carry only two clubs to the mat for a station. Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night.
  • Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night. Leave woods and hybrids out. Pick five designated short/mid-iron target zones from the bay and write their boundaries. Give each player four balls per target. Before play agree observable draw/fade/straight calls for the actual bays, without treating them as a technical lesson. Complete targets in posted order with one ball per person per cycle. Name the current target and any shape call before every shot. The group judges the observed flight and landing from behind the hitting line. An on-target landing earns 1 challenge point. A correctly predeclared observed shape adds 1 if the group confirms it; record the shape award separately, so a correct shape can earn 1 even when the target was missed. No unannounced shape bonus. After five targets and four balls each, highest combined total wins and ties share. A disputed/unobservable shape receives no bonus. Selected rule: Before each of the five target stations, bring only two chosen controllable permitted irons to the assigned mat; the rest remain safely behind the line. Announce the two before that station’s first ball. Return/switch clubs only between stations with swings stopped. Keep four balls per target and the host’s separate landing 1 and confirmed-shape 1 awards; the two-club restriction adds no point. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them.

Pressure Silent Finish

Final three balls are silent scoring only. Compatible host: Final Five Pressure Balls.

  • Final three balls are silent scoring only. Compatible host: Final Five Pressure Balls.
  • Compatible host: Final Five Pressure Balls. Set aside five scoring balls per person after any unscored warm-up. Choose one designated flag, a visible on-flag zone and a surrounding near-miss ring, recording their boundaries before the first scoring shot. Use a fixed safe order and no mulligans. Play five cycles of one ball per person. Observe every ball from the bay or facility display and record its result before the next. Warm-up balls and balls outside the five slots cannot earn target or closest awards. On-flag zone 2 challenge points; near-miss ring 1; other 0. Among every player’s five scored balls, the closest legal result adds 2 once for its player; indistinguishable closest ties each receive 2. A ball can receive its ordinary zone value and this single closest award. After all five equal balls, highest total including any closest award wins and ties share. No measuring or retrieval on the range floor. Selected rule: Balls 3–5 are the silent-scoring finish. Keep optional talk and celebration quiet; necessary safety/access speech remains allowed. An actual celebration/noise fault removes 1 from the player’s most recent positive earned point award, not the whole 2-point shot. If that player has no earned point left, there is no nonexistent point to remove. Record each correction visibly; do not fault the next player. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

Mulligan Draft

Each player gets one mulligan token for the whole game. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Each player gets one mulligan token for the whole game. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Give each player one mulligan token and one spare ball before the ten-ball game. Immediately after an ordinary shot, and before the next player starts, they may spend it for one re-hit replacing that result even if worse. It creates no extra ordinary slot. An unused token adds 1 to that player’s total after ball 10. Safety/access pauses remain free and do not spend the token. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

Corridor First Unlock

You must hit one corridor ball before any pure distance ball scores. Compatible host: Accuracy Before Distance.

  • You must hit one corridor ball before any pure distance ball scores. Compatible host: Accuracy Before Distance.
  • Compatible host: Accuracy Before Distance. Set one mid-distance qualifying corridor and one driver corridor. This house session allows up to 10 qualifying balls to earn five corridor hits, then five scored driver balls. Announce the same cap and target boundaries for everyone before starting; do not extend the cap for a near qualifier. Count qualifying hits until five are reached, then announce the unlock and move to the five driver balls. Misses use a qualifying attempt and delay unlock. If the 10-ball qualifying cap is reached first, stop with the actual qualifying points and take no scored driver balls. Each player has only one scoring unlock in the session. Each of the five qualifying hits scores 1, at most 5. Each in-corridor driver ball scores 1. The longest legal scored driver ball in the group adds 3 for its player; players tied at the longest observable distance each receive the full 3. Practice or requalification shots do not create another scoring unlock. Highest combined total wins. Selected rule: Replace only the host’s five-hit qualifying threshold with one legal mid-corridor hit. Keep the 10-ball qualifying cap; the single required hit earns 1 and immediately unlocks the five ordinary driver balls. Distance balls taken before unlock 0. Preserve the driver corridor 1 per hit and longest-legal+3. Do not stack the host’s optional first-driver-miss requalification unless separately selected. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

Flag Draft Order

Draft target order before the round so everyone knows the sequence. Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night.

  • Draft target order before the round so everyone knows the sequence. Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night.
  • Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night. Leave woods and hybrids out. Pick five designated short/mid-iron target zones from the bay and write their boundaries. Give each player four balls per target. Before play agree observable draw/fade/straight calls for the actual bays, without treating them as a technical lesson. Complete targets in posted order with one ball per person per cycle. Name the current target and any shape call before every shot. The group judges the observed flight and landing from behind the hitting line. An on-target landing earns 1 challenge point. A correctly predeclared observed shape adds 1 if the group confirms it; record the shape award separately, so a correct shape can earn 1 even when the target was missed. No unannounced shape bonus. After five targets and four balls each, highest combined total wins and ties share. A disputed/unobservable shape receives no bonus. Selected rule: Before the first ball, draw a player order and draft the sequence of the five already agreed legal targets, one choice per person cycling until all five are ordered. Write the final sequence and use it for everyone. No mid-round shopping or target substitution merely after a miss; the host’s four balls per target and 1 plus confirmed-shape 1 remain. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times.

Wet-Mat Soft Spikes

On wet mats, ban jumping footwork and full slips-risk swings. Compatible host: Soft-Target Rain Bay.

  • On wet mats, ban jumping footwork and full slips-risk swings. Compatible host: Soft-Target Rain Bay.
  • Compatible host: Soft-Target Rain Bay. Use this format only while the facility remains open and the hitting surface and stance are secure. If mats are slick or footing is unsafe, stop; reduced swing speed does not make them playable. When conditions permit, choose designated short/mid targets, leave the driver out, and announce eight controlled balls per player. Use swings no longer than three-quarter length and pause immediately for slip risk, nearby range staff or a facility stop. Resume only when the facility and footing allow it. A stopped session does not require anyone to finish their quota. A ball finishing in the announced target zone earns 1. If the player called a three-quarter-length swing before release and used it with control, add 1 for that successful hit; a miss earns 0. The bonus never rewards playing through unsafe footing. Highest total after eight equal balls wins; ties are shared. If conditions end the session early, keep only fully completed equal-turn cycles and share a tie; do not finish a cycle while unsafe. Selected rule: An unsafe wet/slippery mat triggers an automatic free stop. Do not attempt jumping footwork or any slip-risk swing, and do not use the title as a footwear recommendation. Resume only when the facility and secure footing permit; reduced swing length cannot make unsafe footing playable. Unreleased turns and needed safety pauses cost nothing. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available.

Partner Confirm Land

In pairs formats, both partners confirm a scoring land. Compatible host: Team Scramble Range.

  • In pairs formats, both partners confirm a scoring land. Compatible host: Team Scramble Range.
  • Compatible host: Team Scramble Range. Form teams of two or three and choose six visible, designated target zones with agreed boundaries. Everyone hits one ball at each station. Before hitting, each team names two counting players; on a three-person team rotate that pair so each player counts at four of the six ordinary stations. The optional lone-wolf station replaces that station’s pair with one nominee. Other players’ balls are practice only. Discuss the target, name the counting pair, then take one shot per player in a safe fixed order. Record the best of the two nominated results before proceeding to the next target; do not select the counting players after seeing their shots. At least one counting ball on target earns the team 2 game points; otherwise 0. If both counting balls hit, record 1 optional sportsmanship point on a separate ledger, excluded from the winning game total. Highest game-point total after six stations wins; ties are shared. Selected rule: Use fixed two-person teams. Both partners must confirm each of their nominated ball’s scoring landing from the bay before posting it. A disputed landing is replaced by one re-hit of that same player’s shot; it is not an added counting ball. If still unclear, that ball 0. Other clearly confirmed counting balls retain their ordinary result; no range-floor inspection. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

Short-Bucket Priority

If anyone has fewer than eight balls left, switch to a three-station closer. Compatible host: Short-Bucket Speed Round.

  • If anyone has fewer than eight balls left, switch to a three-station closer. Compatible host: Short-Bucket Speed Round.
  • Compatible host: Short-Bucket Speed Round. Choose three designated target zones and allow a small bucket of no more than 20 balls per player. The scored circuit uses six balls each, plus one spare if using the mulligan. With 8 players, that means 48 ordinary scoring balls across the group, not one shared 20-ball bucket. Set a soft 12-minute group reminder and a fixed player order. At each station play two complete cycles of one ball per player, then move to the next target. If the reminder sounds, finish the already-started cycle without rushing and stop before another cycle. Safety and access pauses stop the reminder. Everyone receives the same number of ordinary turns; the timer never requires an unsafe shot. Each on-target shot earns 1; misses earn 0. If all six ordinary cycles finish before the reminder, every player who did not use a mulligan adds 2 completion points. Completing a turn early within a cycle does not earn an individual time advantage. Highest total after six cycles or the completed cycle in which the reminder sounded wins; ties are shared. Selected rule: Before scoring, if anyone has fewer than eight balls remaining, select the host’s complete three-station closer rather than a longer format: two ordinary balls at each target, six total per player. Confirm at least six each before starting. Keep its 12-minute group reminder and equal cycles. Do not allocate a mulligan in this selected rule; an inadequate bucket means choose a different shorter activity, not take other people’s balls. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.

Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Only facility-provided range balls count unless staff explicitly permits the particular personal practice balls. A prohibited personal ball uses its ordinary attempt and scores 0. Resolve ball permission before play; do not send someone onto the range to recover a mistakenly hit personal ball. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them.

Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: Once in the ten-ball game, a willing player may nominate one ordinary slot for an opposite-handed shot only with suitable handed equipment, the facility’s permission and maintained control. Its legal result is capped at 1 challenge point, even on a precision flag, and it cannot claim a proximity/ladder award in a combined session. No extra ball or forced handedness switch is created.

  • If nobody hits a station target after a full rotation, simplify the target once. Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night.
  • Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night. Leave woods and hybrids out. Pick five designated short/mid-iron target zones from the bay and write their boundaries. Give each player four balls per target. Before play agree observable draw/fade/straight calls for the actual bays, without treating them as a technical lesson. Complete targets in posted order with one ball per person per cycle. Name the current target and any shape call before every shot. The group judges the observed flight and landing from behind the hitting line. An on-target landing earns 1 challenge point. A correctly predeclared observed shape adds 1 if the group confirms it; record the shape award separately, so a correct shape can earn 1 even when the target was missed. No unannounced shape bonus. After five targets and four balls each, highest combined total wins and ties share. A disputed/unobservable shape receives no bonus. Selected rule: If a complete one-ball-per-player cycle at a station has no target hit, the host may once simplify that station to a preidentified wider or nearer designated zone. Announce the new boundary to everyone before the next ordinary cycle. Earlier misses stay 0 and no free ball or free point is awarded. Retain the station’s remaining balls within its four-ball total and shape rules. Use this one selected rule only.

  • Compatible host: Hundred-Yard Zone Ladder. Identify four designated landing zones nearest 80, 100, 120 and 140 yd. Sketch clear depth and side boundaries and a narrower pin-high depth band within each. Allow three balls per player per zone and declare the whole target/band chart before scoring. Proceed nearest to farthest, one ball per player in rotating turns. Each ball is aimed at the current rung’s declared zone. An in-zone finish counts only against that rung’s posted band; judge from the bay. An in-zone ball earns 1 challenge point. If pin-high was called before the swing and the ball finishes in that posted narrower band, it earns 2 instead; misses 0. Each zone offers three ordinary attempts. After all four zones, highest total wins and ties share; nobody gains points for a zone merely being skipped. Selected rule: Name a captain for each of the four stations, rotating in player order. Before its first ball, the captain performs the source’s five-second scan of bay, neighbors and landing area, and takes longer if needed. A scan actually omitted and caught by the group costs that captain 1 point from their personal total, which may go below 0. Stop/correct the omission before any swing; the scan never replaces continuous safety awareness. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility. Stay behind the hitting line at all times. Never walk onto the range floor or retrieve balls yourself. Hit only toward designated range targets — never toward people, buildings, parking, or boundary fences. Pause immediately when the ball picker or range cart is working nearby. Keep swings under control, mind adjacent bays, and do not hit until the bay ahead and the landing area are clear. Use range balls only unless the facility allows personal practice balls. Scores stay in challenge points; the group can add an optional STUD amount, agreed before play. Points, pride, and good sportsmanship only.
  • Score Captain Safety Check as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
  • Reset and rotate evenly after Captain Safety Check; stop at the agreed finish condition.
Closing Flag Lock

The final station is one shared flag chosen by the lowest scorer. Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night.

  • The final station is one shared flag chosen by the lowest scorer. Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night.
  • Compatible host: Iron-Only Target Night. Leave woods and hybrids out. Pick five designated short/mid-iron target zones from the bay and write their boundaries. Give each player four balls per target. Before play agree observable draw/fade/straight calls for the actual bays, without treating them as a technical lesson. Complete targets in posted order with one ball per person per cycle. Name the current target and any shape call before every shot. The group judges the observed flight and landing from behind the hitting line. An on-target landing earns 1 challenge point. A correctly predeclared observed shape adds 1 if the group confirms it; record the shape award separately, so a correct shape can earn 1 even when the target was missed. No unannounced shape bonus. After five targets and four balls each, highest combined total wins and ties share. A disputed/unobservable shape receives no bonus. Selected rule: After station 4, the lowest scorer chooses one of the already permitted flags as the common station 5 target. Tied low scorers agree or draw one chooser. The chooser still takes their ordinary four balls and may earn the same points; selection adds no free point, closer hitting mark or extra attempt. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them.

Sportsmanship Sweep

Group votes one sportsmanship point for honesty, pace, or coaching. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.

  • Group votes one sportsmanship point for honesty, pace, or coaching. Compatible host: Target Grid Points.
  • Compatible host: Target Grid Points. Sketch visible designated landing zones from the bays: near 50–75 yd=1, mid 100–125 yd=2, far 150+yd=3. Define left/right and depth boundaries with existing range references. Choose one permitted precision flag and an agreed visible ring worth 5. Supply ten balls per player and a score sheet. Rotate one ball per player. Before each swing name one zone or the precision flag. Score where the ball first lands against the posted references; a different zone or unjudgeable landing scores 0. Never go onto the range to measure. Add the ten declared results. A legal called precision-ring hit earns 5 instead of a distance-zone value; near/mid/far earn 1/2/3. One ball has one ordinary result, not both a flag and zone award. After ten balls each, highest total wins; compare precision-flag hit counts to break a total tie, then share a tie that remains. Selected rule: After the ten ordinary balls, every player casts one private vote for another player’s honest calls, considerate pace or requested coaching; no self-vote. The most votes earns 1 sportsmanship challenge point in their personal total. Tied vote leaders split that one point equally: two each receive 0.5. Then compare the resulting totals using the host’s precision-count tiebreak and share a tie that remains. Use this one selected rule only. It changes only the condition, quota, points or schedule it names; all remaining host rules stay. Other optional host twists are not stacked unless this selected rule expressly retains them. Required safety, access and facility pauses always remain available. Driving Range challenges are adult group formats scored in challenge points at a golf driving range or similar bay facility.
