For nine holes, you would take half your handicap and subtract it from 18. That total is your goal/hurdle. You get 1 point for a bogey, 2 for a par, 4 for a birdie and 8 for an eagle. At the end of 9 holes, you subtract your total points from your goal, and that is your final score. The person with the highest score wins. Example: you are a 16 handicap. Half your hdcp =8; 18-8 = 10 pts which is your goal/hurdle. If you accumulate, say 13 points, your final score is 13-10 = 3.
18 holes on a standard golf course.
Golf is played in a golf course. A typical golf course has 18 holes, however, smaller golf courses have 9 holes as well. Championship level golf courses are known to have even 27 or 36 separate holes.
If all holes are completed and the scores recorded then the gross stroke score would be taken as the record, not as points.
18 = holes in golf
Subtract your handicap from 36. This becomes the "quota" that you must meet. You get 8 points for an eagle, 4 points for a birdie, 2 points for a par, 1 point for a bogie. These are gross scores on each hole. The goal is to get more points than your quota. The person with the MOST points OVER their quota wins.Example; You are a 16 handicap. 36 minus 16 is 20. 20 is your quota. If you get 6 pars times 2 and 9 bogies times 1, you have 12 + 9 = 21 points. You beat your quota by +1.The formula "36 minus handicap" is OK if all the participants' handicaps are for a course rating of 72. If contestants are playing different tees with different course ratings a better formula would be "36 minus handicap plus 72 minus course rating for tees played and where handicap was established." Example: Player A has a 0 handicap from the front tees, CR 66. Player B has a 0 handicap from the back tees, CR 72. With the conventional formula they would both have a quota of 36 points, but if both shot their handicap A would get +6 points and B would get 0. With the better formula both would get 0 points.
There are usually 18 holes in a golf course; some have 9 holes or some multiplier of 9 holes. I have played at golf clubs with 9, 18, 27 and 36 holes. However, a standard "round of golf" at most golf clubs / courses involves 18 holes.
