joma1108: Ok just so i am clear and Jeff doesnt try to pull a fast one ;0)
First on the green is self explanatory on Par 4 & Par 5 what about Par 3 or is it only after each person has played their shot.
i.e. jeff on the green in two and so am i, but he teed off first is he the winner?
with this format tactics play the biggest part.
first on the green:
it doesnt matter how many times it takes you to get on the green its the first one there. e.g if jeff gets to the green (on par 5) in 2 and you dont then he gets 1 point. but making the green on a par 5 in 2 is likely to land you far from the pin. thefefore you have the opportunity to take the next 2 points by taking as many shots as you want to get in the best place to get on the green but closest to the pin, which evidently puts you in the best place to sink the putt first because of jeff's monster putt .
but then Jeff could take little putts making sure he is not as close as you to get in a position to sink the putt before you. it can get confusing so the best way is just to get out there and have fun
remember taking more shots than your opponent may put you second on the next tee which could be fatal if par3 is next (which i think it isnt anyway).
its all about the the tactics you want to play. i don't really know how it will go but i think this will be great fun.
