Chart
Set Up
- Set up two 4-hole courses
- For each 4-hole course identify four different <100 yard shots
- Place a tee in the ground to mark the starting position for each of the eight starting positions
- Determine which is the D1 and which is the D2 course
Goal
- All players start on the D1 course
- Players compete in one-vs-one 4-hole stroke play matches
- When a player loses two games in D1, they are demoted to D2
- To get promoted from D2 back to D1, you need to win two matches in D2
- The overall winner is the player who has the most points after a set time or once a predetermined point total is reached
Scoring
GENERAL SCORING
- If a player goes two shots behind their opponent at any time, the game is over and their opponent earns the 3 points
- 3 Putts count as 4-putts
D1 SCORING
- Win = 3 Points
- Draw = 1 Point
- Lose = 0 Points
D2 SCORING
- No points awarded for D2 Matches
- 2 Wins = Promotion to D1
- If matches are tied in D2, extra holes are played until there is a winner
