Callaway/Loynes scoring system will be applied to find the winner (and the loser).
1 All competitors tee off and play stroke play, scoring in the normal fashion with one exception - double par is the maximum score on any given hole (i.e., on a par 4, 8 is the maximum score).
2 Following the round, gross scores are tallied. Based on each golfer's gross score (using the double par maximum), each golfer tallies up a prescribed number of worst scores from their scorecard, then applies a second adjustment that may add or subtract additional strokes. (See "Keithyboy can't lose" Chart). The result is a total that is something similar to a net score using real handicaps. The higher a competitor's gross score, the more holes that player will be deducting;
3 Holes deducted begin with the highest score; if a player gets to deduct one hole and his highest score is an 8, then an 8 is what gets deducted;
4 Scores on the 17th and 18th holes may not be deducted, even if one (or both) of them are the competitor's highest score.
5 Even after high scores are added together for the allowance, the second adjustment must be made; this adjustment might add or subtract 2, 1 or 0 strokes from a player's Callaway/Loynes "handicap".
6 Once the appropriate number of high scores has been tallied, and the second adjustment is made, the player is left with a net score.
7 Half scores are rounded up. If a player is deducting half of 7, then that 3.5 is rounded up to 4.
8 The maximum a golfer can deduct under the Callaway/Loynes system is 60 strokes.
9 Ties are decided in favour of the player with the lowest score on the 18th hole. If this does not resolve the tie then the players scores on holes 17, 16, 15, 14 etc. are considered in turn until the tie can be resolved.
Example Result.
Player A cards an 83. He is entitled to subtract the score from his worst hole (Say 8 shots) and half of the score from his 2nd worst hole (Say 7 shots) from his total score. This gives a subtraction of 11 1/2, which is rounded up to 12. Further to this the player can add a further 2 shots to his subtraction figure of 12 because his score of 83 is in the +2 column on the chart. This gives a total subtraction figure of 14, leaving the jammy sod with a net 69 (83-14)
Player B cards an 79. He is entitled to subtract the score from his worst hole (Say 8 shots) and half of the score from his 2nd worst hole (Say 7 shots) from his total score. This gives a subtraction of 11 1/2, which is rounded up to 12. Sadly the player must subtract 2 shots from his subtraction figure of 12 because his score of 79 is in the -2 column on the chart. This gives a total subtraction figure of 10, leaving the furious player with a net 69 (79-10)
Player C cards 103 (What a hacker). He is entitled to subtract the score from his worst 3 holes (Say 10 shots, 10 shots, 8 shots) and half the score from his 4th worst hole (Say 8 shots), from his total. This gives a subtraction of 32. Further to this the player can add a further 2 shots to his subtraction figure of 32 because his score of 103 is in the +2 column on the chart. This gives a total subtraction figure of 34, leaving Mr Hack-fest with a net 69 (103-34), and a share of the lead.
As all players have a net score of 69 their scores on the 18th hole are considered.
Player A has a par 4
Payer B has a bogie 5
Player C has a bogie 5
Player A wins
Player B and Player C are still tied for 2nd however so their scores on the 17TH hole are considered.
Player B has a par 3
Player C has a dog breath 5
Player B is second
Player C is last.
