9 Point
Three players split 9 points on every hole: 5 for the best score, 3 for second and 1 for third, with ties shared.
- Players: 3 players
- Best for: Only Threesomes
How it works
- Three players split 9 points on every hole, based on how they finish.
- A clear finish pays 5 points for 1st, 3 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd.
- Ties share the points: two tied for 1st get 4 each and 3rd gets 1; a clear 1st gets 5 and two tied for 2nd get 2 each; all three tied get 3 each.
- When you set up the pairing, your group chooses gross or net scoring and what each point is worth.
A worked example
Hole 1: Alex makes 4, Ben 5 and Chris 6. Alex gets 5 points, Ben 3 and Chris 1.
Hole 2: Alex and Ben both make 4 and Chris makes 6. Alex and Ben get 4 each and Chris gets 1.
After three holes: Chris 11, Alex 9, Ben 7.
