The maximum strokes on any hole is 10. All players should pick up after 10 shots. No mulligans or “gimme’s” allowed for players participating in a game with cash prizes.  Those players must play their tee shot and putt out.  Game participants must keep track of scores up to 10 strokes per hole, but use the ESC (Equitable Stroke Control) system when posting scores for their handicap. 

Best 9 Holes
Choose your best 9 holes.  Deduct 1/2 of your handicap from the best 9 to record your net score.

Blind Holes
After all players have left the first tee, a blind draw determines which nine holes of the 18 played will count toward everyone’s total score — the other holes will be crossed out — so the players have no knowledge of which holes will count until they complete their rounds. One-half of Course Handicaps are used to compile net totals.

Blind Partners
Players may play with anyone of their choice. Partners are not drawn until the last group has teed off, so a player does not know her partner until she has finished. The winner is the team with the lowest better-ball score.

Gross
Actual number of strokes plus any penalty strokes taken by a player. 

Gross Minus Putts
Gross score less any strokes taken on the putting green.  Putts from the fringe are counted. 

Low Net
Each individual takes her gross score and then subtracts her handicap.

Low Putts
Keep your regular score for handicap. Keep track of total number of putts. Only count strokes that are on putting surface.

Most 3’s, 4’s  & 5’s
Players use full Course Handicap, taking strokes as designated on the score card. Prizes are awarded to the players scoring the most 3s, 4s and 5s.

Nassau
Made up of  3 matches. The front 9 holes make up the 1st match, the back 9 the 2nd, and the 18 hole total makes up the 3rd. 

Pick 4 Clubs
Pick out the 4 clubs you want to use (plus your putter) and use only these 4 clubs all 18 holes.

Superball
Team format where only the good shots are played.  Each golfer tees off. The next shot is played from the location of the best lie. Teams with less than 4 golfers should alternate taking the extra shot, so that each team has 4 shots from which to choose. Balls may be played within 1 club length of the lie, but may not be removed from a hazard or out of the rough. One score is kept as the team score.

Team Net Best Ball
This refers to a team event which may comprise 2, 3 or 4 players. Each player will have her stroke allowance and the lowest net score would be recorded at each hole. The total for the complete round would be the team's best-ball score.
