How to play Arnies

Scoring

How the result works

Each confirmed Arnie scores one point.

Example: Track when a player misses the expected fairway or green-in-regulation path.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Awarding an Arnie for a routine par from regulation. It only counts after the player misses the expected route.

Safety: Confirm recovery attempts from a safe distance and keep carts or bags away from the swing path.
