How it works
- Play every hole normally.
- Score points: bogey 1, par 2, birdie 3, eagle 4.
- Double bogey or worse is 0. Pick up and move on.
- Add up the points. Most points wins.
Example
A player makes par, bogey, birdie, triple bogey.
2 + 1 + 3 + 0 = 6 points. The triple only cost 2.
Tips

- Speeds up play since you can pick up.
