397.0. "Calaway help??????" by DELNI::M_CARBONE () Mon Sep 19 1988 12:13

    
    I was wondering if anyone out theree could explain the Calaway type
    scoring system.  I played in a tournament this weekend that had
    2 catagories, one being an open and the other a Calaway.  I had
    no idea what it meant, only that everyone played their own ball
    to the hole.  We didn't finish in the money but I did manage to
    win the open with a 75!!!  First trophy,  hope theres more to come!!
    I'm still confused on the Calaway and would appreciate any help
    you all can give.
    	Thanks...Mike

	Thanks for the pointer Rick, I now have an idea of what went on Saturday!!! The tourney was played at Saddle Hill C.C in Hopkinton, Ma. It was the "My One Wish" Tournament to help terminally ill kids. It was a lot of fun and raised some good money to help these kids. Thanks Gene!! Mike

	Tomorrow I'm going to be playing in a customer golf event. I just found out that I'm responsible for scoring the event. I understand that most of the players are triple digit types, so I thought that the Calaway system would be the most fair scoring system. The pointer listed in this note seems to be missing (145.2), does anybody have the table of hole deductions for the Calaway? Thanks KO

	Suggest you get to the course early, I am sure the pro shop will have something for you. They usually have a sheet with the break points and the number of holes to subtract for the net score. SCD

	Turns out the owner (there is no pro shop)had a book that was marked up for that course. It was an interesting day for all. The folks who played are still trying to figure out how I arrived at the handicaps and with a 4 way tie for first, they are really confused as to how Idetermined the winner. KO
