FLAG Tournament Guidelines

In a flag competition, each competitor uses their given number of strokes to take their ball as far around the course as possible.

The flag marks the point at which they "expired", i.e. the point on the course a competitor reaches the end of their given number of strokes. This number is set at the course par plus handicap. However, anyone performing better than handicap would need to start playing extra holes after the 18th..

A medal score to be kept for the round and also keep a running total of the gross score so that one can quickly determine the point where the given number of strokes has been reached. This is the point where the flag is put .

Some guidelines

• If your last stroke leaves the ball in the hole, put the flag on the next tee

• If your last stroke is off the fairway, put the flag in an equivalent position on the fairway, ie the same distance from the pin

• If your last stroke is beyond or to the side of the green, put the flag in an equivalent position in front of the green, ie the the same distance from the pin

• If your last stroke is lost or Out of Bounds, place the flag where you played your previous shot (or equivalent position on the fairway)

• If your last shot was from the tee on a par 3, put the flag an equal distance from the hole in a position where it can be easily be seen from the tee (in line if possible)

In this flag competition we will have flags for 1st and 2nd or for 1st and 2nd positions on the course.

Competitors in the leading group will put the flags as instructed below; competitors in the following groups will be able to see if they have improved on the leaders, and move the flag(s) if their ball is further up the course.

Some more instructions:

In the leading group, the first player to use their given number of strokes will put the 2nd place flag (#2), as per the guidelines above (adding their name). Then the final player the 1st place flag (#1). Now all three flags are out on the course, each with a name on.

Anyone in the following groups that has not used their given number of strokes when they come to flag #2 will pick it up and move on.

... if they run out before they come to flag #1, this is the new spot for flag #2 (with their name added).

OVERTAKING

... If they then run out before they get to flag #1, this will be the spot for flag #2 (with their name added).

... If they haven't, then #1 is also overtaken and changed to #2 (number on card), and the new #1 flag carried on (till the given number of strokes is reached).

Obviously if multiple players in a following group surpass existing flags then these are moved further up the course, and if you have used your given number of strokes before you get to #2 you just play out the round.
