OVGA Florida

Rules

How OVGA Florida events are played and scored.

Quota Series

Individual quota play. Every player earns points on each hole from their gross score and plays against a quota set by their handicap.

  • Hole in one: 10 points
  • Albatross: 8 points
  • Eagle: 5 points
  • Birdie: 3 points
  • Par: 2 points
  • Bogey: 1 point
  • Double bogey: 0 points
  • Triple bogey: -0.5 points

Maximum score

Triple bogey is the maximum on any hole. A higher score is entered as played and counts as a triple bogey for points.

Quota and result

Your quota is 36 minus your course handicap for the tee you play. Your result is your points minus your quota, and the highest result wins.

While a round is in progress, the board shows each result prorated to holes played: points minus quota times holes played over 18, rounded to the nearest half point. At 18 holes it is exactly points minus quota.

Ties are broken by most holes played, then points on the back 9, the last 6, the last 3 and the 18th hole.

Elite Series

Gross stroke play. Players compete in flights set by handicap at each event.

Flight breaks are set per event and posted before the first tee time.

Elite Series ties

A tie for a flight win is decided by an on-course playoff when possible. Otherwise the USGA scorecard countback applies: best back 9, then the last 6, the last 3 and the 18th hole.
