Pre-set goal = 36 - Course Handicap (example, a 10 handicap has a Quota of 26).

 

Point allocations (for gross scores):

 

• Bogey - 1point
• Par - 2 points
• Birdie - 3 points
• Eagle - 4 points
• Double Eagle - 5 points

 

The winner is the golfer who exceeds her quota by the most. If the golfer whose quota was 26 finishes at 30, he is +4. If the golfer whose quota was 12 finishes at 17, he is +5.
