What is Blitz?
Blitz is a fast paced multi-player game between 2 to 4 players in which you take 9 shots on any of our Closest to the Hole courses.
What is the difference between Blitz and Closest to the Hole?
Blitz uses a different scoring format that incorporates things like streaks, bonuses, and multipliers. The goal is still to get your ball as close to the hole as possible (like Closest to the Hole). Players compete for the highest score in Blitz.
What are the rules?
•Each player gets 60 seconds to take their shot
•The first 60 second violation will be a warning
•The second 60 second violation will also be a warning
•The third 60 second violation will cause the player to be disqualified from of the game
•Turn is based on highest scores on the previous hole
•The total after nine holes is your final score
•The winner is determined by which player finished with the highest final score
How does the scoring work?
Each hole is worth a base score of 10000 points. Your score is calculated by adding up your total distance from the flagstick with your shot. Like Closest to the Hole games, there are penalty feet added to your distance if your ball lands in a hazard or off the green. Your distance is then multiplied by 100, and that total is subtracted from 10000 to give your base score. Streaks and bonuses are then applied to the base score to give you your final score for the hole. Certain streaks and bonuses can be combined to create unique high-scoring combinations!
What are the streaks and bonuses I can get?
Hit the Green Bonus
• Each time your ball ends up on the green, you’ll get a bonus of 50 points.
Green Streak
• Each time your ball ends up on the green on consecutive holes, you’ll go on a Green Streak. Once a shot fails to land on the green, the Green Streak will be broken, and you’ll have to land on the green with your next shot to start another Green Streak. Your Green Streak point bonus is not cumulative but rather you will earn the bonus when the streak ends or at the end of the round should it continue through the 9th hole. Therefore if you have a 200 point bonus after the 3rd hole and then hit the green on the 4th hole your Green Streak bonus will become worth 400 points instead of 200 points.
Accuracy Streak
• Each time your ball ends up inside 10 feet of the hole on consecutive holes, you’ll go on an Accuracy Streak. Once a shot fails to land inside 10 feet, the Accuracy Streak will be broken, and you’ll have to land inside 10 feet again on consecutive holes to start another Accuracy Streak.
Recovery Bonus
• The Recovery Bonus has been removed since many players were taking advantage of the spirit of the bonus.
Hit the Pin Bonus
• If your ball hits the pin and doesn’t drop in for a Hole-in-One, you’ll get a 25,000 point bonus. A nice reward for having good aim!
Hole in One Bonus/Streak
• This is the greatest shot in golf, and in Blitz it’s no different. Get a Hole-in-One and you’ll get a 40,000 point bonus and your score for the entire round will be doubled. Get more than one Hole-in-One in a row and you’ll go on a Hole in One Streak, which increases the final score multiplier. This adds to the intrigue of the game, as even the worst of rounds can turned into high scoring ones with a Hole in One. Get one late in the game for the ultimate comeback!
