The rules

Simple enough to remember on the first tee, contested enough to argue about on the eighteenth.

  1. Four events across the year, each with its own trophy: .
  2. In each event you get 4 points for winning, 3 for second, 2 for third and 1 for fourth.
  3. Win and you are cut 2 shots off your handicap. Second is cut 1 shot. Third gains a shot. Fourth gains 2.
  4. All points are totalled across the year. The overall winner is simply the one with the most points.
  5. If it's a tie for first, it goes to the number of events won, then the number of second places, and so on. Still level? The result of the last event decides it.
  6. Every player gets one Mulligan per round, at any stage except when putting. Forget the shot happened, re-place the ball and go again without penalty.New for 2025
