HOW TO ENTER A ROUND

Are there other par levels besides 90 and 108?

The Only other Par Level is Standard. As a rule of thumb, you should choose a Par Level that is plus or minus 9 strokes from where you currently average.

What is a penalty stroke?

A Penalty is any stroke assessed to your score by the rules of golf, such as Out of Bounds (2 stroke), unplayable (1 stroke), etc.

What is a 3 putt?

This refers to the number of holes where it took you 3 putts to get the ball in the hole. Putts from off the green do not count.

If I choose a different par level, what stat is affected?

"Choose a par that is close to your current scoring average. This par will adjust the number of strokes allowed for a ""Green in Regulation"". For instance, if you choose a par of 90, you should increase the number of strokes for a GIR by one. On a par 4, your new GIR number is 3 strokes."

If I have a 4 putt, how do I enter it?

A 4-Putt can be entered in the Errors section of the Enter a Round Page.

If my personal par is 90 and I make a natural birdie, how do I enter it?

This would now be considered an Eagle! If you have chosen the Par +1 level a Par 4 would now become a Par 5 and so on.

How do I record a hole less than a birdie?

You can either leave it out of the Enter a Round section or you can enter it as 2 Birdies. This is up to your personal preference.

What if I have a 5 putt?

You can enter this as a 2 value in the 4-Putts box of the Errors Section.

Define a scramble

On any hole where you have missed the Green in Regulation, you will need to to get the ball "up and in" for a par. This is considered a successful Scramble.

What is a competitive round?

"Choose a par that is close to your current scoring average. This par will adjust the number of strokes allowed for a "Green in Regulation"". For instance, if you choose a par of 90, you should increase the number of strokes for a GIR by one. On a par 4, your new GIR number is 3 strokes.

What is a FIR?

If your tee shot comes to rest on a fairway, this counts as a fairway in regulation (do not count par 3's). Fairways in regulation apply only to tee shots.

What is a GIR?

If the ball comes to rest on the green in two less than the par for that hole, that counts as GIR. For example, on a par 4, if your ball reaches the green in 2 shots or less.

If my par is 90, what is a birdie?

The best way to think of your alternative Par Level is to add the strokes on to each hole. On a Par 4 begin to look at it as a Par 5, therefore a birdie is a score of 4.

What is total number of putts?

What is a custom stat?

Custom Stats are a powerful tool for tracking the stats specfic to your game. You might track: 'Pre-shot Routine', 'Short Sided Greens', 'Wedges within 15 feet', 'Lag Putts (>20') within 3 feet.'

Focused attention is the key to improvement. By giving the players the ability to focus on their unique areas of improvement, they will improve. Custom stats could include elements of the mental game, decisions, distance control ... or even the "# of lost balls" - if that is important and fun for you.

1 and 2 shot penalties - are they the same in the GP?

No, when you are entering a round be sure to enter the number of strokes for each penalty rather than the number of occurrences.
