WEEKLY GAMES & AWARDS

We hope everyone has fun out on the course this season and enjoys playing these games! And remember…in this league, the most important thing is “forming friendships” by having fun!!

FWO WEEKLY CHALLENGES

GROSS SCORE – The actual total number of strokes you made at your ball.

NET SCORE – Your score after subtracting your handicap from your gross score. 

LOW PUTTS – Total number of putts for the round. Double Par Rule X counts as a 3-putt, unless one decides to putt from the farthest putt of the group and makes it in the hole in less than 3 putts. In that case, you may use that putt number for your putt total on that hole.

​
