Bogey Competition Scoring

If you score a net Bogey you enter a “-“

​

If you score a net Birdy you enter a “+”

​

If you score a net par (allowing for any strokes you receive) you enter a “0”

​

 

For example, your course handicap is 18.  Hole 1 is a Par 5.

​

On Hole 1 you score a 6.  You get 1 extra shot, so you have a net 5 (Net Par)

You record a “0” (You have tied the hole)

​

On Hole 1 you score a 7.  You get 1 extra shot, so you have a net 6 (Net Bogey)

You record a “-” (You have lost the hole)

​

On Hole 1 you score a 5.  You get 1 extra shot, so you have a net 4 (Net Birdy)

You record a “+” (You have won the hole)

​

 

If you score less than a 5, you still only get a “+”

If you score more than a 6, you still only get a “-“

 

​

Getting gross birdies when you have a shot is of no benefit, just make sure of the net birdy.  Same as a 10 on a hole, which will still only be “-“

 

​

At the end add up all the “+” and subtract all the “-“.  Hopefully, you will end up with more “+” than “-“ – Happy Days!!!

 

​

It is effectively a Matchplay scenario playing against the course.  You either win, lose or tie the hole against the course.

And the Course never buys a drink!
