Summary of the PowerPlay Golf Rules

PowerPlay Golf is played off full handicap, and uses the Stableford points sytem.  There are two flags on each green – White and Black.  The Black flag is in the harder position.

When you go for a Powerplay – which means, play to the Black flag – you score double points ONLY if you get a net birdie or better.  For example, you score 6 points for a net birdie on a PowerPlay.

You must go for exactly THREE PowerPlays in your first eight holes.  You can go for a bonus PowerPlay on the 9th but, if you do, you score MINUS 3 points for a net bogey or worse on a final-hole PowerPlay.

You must nominate your PowerPlay before you take your tee shot.  Once nominated, and the shot taken, a PowerPlay cannot be withdrawn.

As a courtesy, golfers playing to the White flag should putt out before golfers playing to the Black flag. 

When you are marking a card, draw a circle around the hole number which a player has nominated as a PowerPlay.
