RULES OF POWER PLAY GOLF

HANDICAP IS BASED ON SLOPE RATING FOR FRONT 9 HOLE COURSE.

1. Two holes are cut on each green, one with a White Flag and one with a Black Flag. The White Flag location is considered e-a-s-y to play and the Black Flag will be positioned by a green keeper with a bad hangover
2. Going for a ‘PowerPlay’ means going to the Black Flag.
3. A player must go for exactly three PowerPlays in the first eight holes, and their marker must identify their scorecard at the holes concerned. A scorecard not marked for three holes in the first eight will be DQ’d
4. A player must play to the White Flag when not going for a PowerPlay.
5. PowerPlays must be nominated BEFORE the tee shot and cannot be withdrawn.
6. On the ninth hole, players can go for a bonus PowerPlay , at greater risk. See rule 8.
7. Scoring is by the Stableford system as below

SCORE 

Net Double Bogey or worse    WHITE - 0 pts BLACK - 0 pts

Net Bogey                               WHITE - 1pt   BLACK - 1 pt

Net Par                                    WHITE - 2 pts    BLACK - 2 pts

Net Birdie                                WHITE - 3pts   BLACK - 6 pts (PPG)

Net Eagle                                 WHITE - 4pts   BLACK - 8 pts (PPG)

Net Albatross                          WHITE - 5 pts   BLACK - 10 pts (PPG)

NOTE: PLAYERS DO NOT SCORE DOUBLE POINTS FOR PARS OR BOGEYS IN PowerPlay

8.  The ninth tee is Crunch Time. Play it safe to the White and protect your score or go for the Black and score Black Flag points as a normal  PowerPlay BUT RISK -3 (MINUS THREE) POINTS FOR A NET BOGEY OR WORSE.

GENERAL. If the ‘other’ flag obstructs your line to the target hole the ball may be lifted and placed at the nearest point, not nearer to the target hole, which gives a direct path to the target.
