Canadian Skins
Canadian skins is a net skins tournament that favors the lower gross score when multiple people have the same net score. For, example, if multiple players tie for the lowest net score on a hole, but only one of those players did it with their gross score, then that player wins the skin.
Modified Stableford Net
A net Modified Stableford is a golf scoring format where players use their handicaps to calculate a net score on each hole, and then assign points based on an aggressive, risk-reward scale relative to par.
Our scoring revolves around bogey and shown as follows: (all scores are net)
double bogey or worse = -1, bogey = 0, par = 1, birdie = 2, eagle or better = 3
Par/Bogey
This game is similar to Stableford in that it is a hole by hole scoring system. The difference is that a net birdie or better gets a +1, a net par is 0 and a net bogey or worse is a -1.
Treys
This game rewards a 3 or better. All holes are net scores with the exception of Par 3’s which are scored gross only.
Scramble
• Format: All players tee off, the best shot is selected, and all players play their next shot from that spot. Each best shot is selected until the ball is holed. One score per team.
Shamble
• Format: Team picks the best shot off the tee only, then plays their own ball the rest of the hole. The best individual score among teammates will be used for that hole.
Best Ball
• Format: Each player plays their own ball for the entire hole. The best individual score among teammates will be used for that hole.
Chapman
• Format:
◦Both golfers on a side play their drives.
◦For the second strokes, each plays the other's drive. Golfer A goes to Golfer B's ball, and Golfer B goes to Golfer A's ball.
◦After the second strokes, one ball is selected to continue with, and that ball is played alternate shot into the hole.
◦The golfer whose second stroke was not selected is the one who plays the third stroke.
Side Game
• Rick’s KP Game (only played within your pairing)
◦First decide on the size of the bet. For this example we will use $1.
◦The player with the ball closest to the pin is the only individual who can make or lose money.
◦He must make a par or better to make money. A bogey or worse, he loses money.
Example:
✦ If he makes a par in a pairing of four players he will win $3 ($1 from each player)
✦ If he makes a birdie (or better) he will make $6 ($2 from each player)
✦ If he makes a bogey (or worse) he will lose $6 ($2 to each player)
✦ If no one is on the green you carry the bet forward. In doing so the next par 3 bet in the above example would be $2 for a par and double ($4) for birdies and bogeys.
