Each win is worth 100 points with the exception of two events. The Farragut Open "A" tier and the series final. They start at 103 and work their way down one point for each place. I feel like a win is a win. A lot of series I've played in give rewards for beating more golfers. What can happen though is a large group of friends that play in one division decide they don't want to play an event and the person who wins said event doesn't even get to include the win in their points total. If one golfer wins any 5 events and plays in 9 they are more than likely going to be the series champ. One year I won 5 of 8 events and wasn't the series champ because of interesting point schemes that take a math degree to figure out. Our points are simple and it should be really easy to see where you stand and what you have to do to earn points and become the Champion.
I don't think this series is a lot different than other series that are in existence but we are focusing on a couple things we find important. Getting our events done in a timely matter, and having enough one day events that people can compete in, that have other things on Sundays. Providing a cheaper price point so new golfers can compete on a budget. There will be no advanced woman's division, only amateur and pro. To keep the entry's lower for new ladies interested in getting involved. Fuel costs are high and most our events have free camping or cheap camping, and are less than three hours from each other. Expansion in our sport is coming at an alarming rate and so are tournament options. I have 18 events I can go to within 3 hours, which I am really excited about. WAY better than the six state events I used to play when I first started!! I will probably play in three series this year, too cool
Any thoughts...
