Scoring

How the result works

Each confirmed greenie scores one point.

Example: Everyone plays a tee shot on the counting par 3.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Giving the point before the hole is finished. The closest player still has to make par or better.

Safety: Stand behind the tee markers until all par 3 shots are away, then check closest ball together.
