Count As Many As You Can
Net scores are counted as + or (-) in relation to par for each hole. A team
must count at least one (1) score on each hole. The team may count
other players scores for the hole if those scores result in a score of
under par. The object is to record as many "under par" scores on a
hole as possible.
Example: A team of 4 has only 1 net par on a hole. Other scores on the
hole are all over par. The team will record a score of "even"
for the hole.
Example: A team of 4 has 1 net eagle and 1 net birdie for the hole. All
other scores are net par or higher. The team records a score
of -3 for the hole.
