Scoring

How the result works

Consecutive fairways build a streak bonus: the second straight fairway is worth 2, the third is worth 3, and so on.

Example: A tee shot that finishes in the fairway earns 1 point.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Moving the start mark or changing score values after play begins. Keep one score card for the full round.

Safety: Keep the target lane and follow-through area clear, retrieve only after the attempt ends, and use venue-safe equipment.
