Sweeps Games

PAR 4's - Add the scores on all Par 4's. The course handicap is applied proportionally to the number of holes played in the 10 hole competition.
THREE BLIND MICE - Throw out three (3) worst holes relative to par.
MUTT & JEFF - Add scores on 5 longest and 4 shortest holes. The course handicap is applied proportionally to the number of holes played in the 9 hole competition.
O.N.E.S. - Total of holes beginning with those letters. The course handicap is applied proportionally to the number of holes played in the 9 hole competition.
ACE DAY AND ACE OF ACES - Low Gross and Low Net players over the field are declared Aces of the month.  Monthly Ace winners for 2022 will also compete for Aces of Aces.
CRISS CROSS - Best nine holes of 1 or 10, 2 or 11, etc.  the best score is relative to par.  So if you get a 3 on a par 3 and it's compared with a birdie 4 on a par 5, Golf/Genius will keep the birdie 4 even though it is higher than the 3.
STABLEFORD - Rather than counting the total number of strokes taken, as in stroke play, it involves scoring points based on the number of strokes taken at each hole; Hole-In-One 6 points, Double Eagle 5 points, Eagle 4 points, Birdie 3 points, Par 2 points, Bogey 1 point, Double Bogey 0 points. Unlike traditional scoring methods, where the aim is to have the lowest score, under Stableford rules, the objective is to have the highest score.
IF - Throw out one worst hole.  Full handicap.
FIRST & LAST - Holes 1 through 5 and 15 through 18.  Half handicap.
BETTER BALL OF PARTNERS - Best net score of partners.
PAR 5's, PAR 3's & HOLES 3 - Total of Par 5's, Par 3's & Hole 3.  Half handicap.
PLAY THE MIDDLE - Holes 5 through 13 .  Half handicap.
T's & F's - Total of all holes beginning with those letters. Half handicap.
T.O.E. - Total of all holes beginning with those letters.  Half handicap.
5 CLUBS & 1 PUTTER - Player chooses 5 clubs and a 1 putter. Play regular scoring. No posting.
FIELD SHOTS - Count all strokes taken before reaching the green.  You may choose not to putt or if you do make sure   you subtract your putts from the gross score of the hole.  Enter only the strokes taken to reach the green into Golf Genius.  (This is not a postable score snd will not count towards Ringer).
EASY RIDER -  9 shortest holes (1, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16)
LONG JOHNS - Nine longest holes (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18)

(4, 13, 18, 1, 6, 14, 9, 11, 15)

SHORT & TALL -  5 shortest & 4 longest (5, 9, 11, 12, 15, 2, 4, 13, 18)
BAKER'S DOZEN - 13  of your best holes (drop 5 worst )


*  You will notice a difference in the way Golf Genius scores the sweeps games versus what you are use to.
*  For games like O.N.E.S., T's & F's, Par 4's, Play the Middle, Mutt & Jeff, etc., Golf Genius will pop the holes used in         the game, resulting in a game net score.
*  For games like IF and Three Blind Mice, where holes need to be compared to determine the best/worst - the best             score is relative to par - so if you get a 3 on a par 3 and it is compared with a birdie 4 on a par 5, Golf Genius will             keep the birdie 4 even though it is higher than the 3.
*  We will no longer be able to play any game that requires the player to make a substitution, e.g., Alibi, Poker,                     Odd & Even, Front or Back, Best Consecutive 9.
