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
