Chicago Points
Albatross – 10 points
Eagle – 8 points
Birdie – 4 points
Par – 2 points
Bogey – 1 point
Double Bogey or Worse – 0 points
Each player on the team needs to score 36 points minus their established handicap to score positive. The goal is to score positive points. Each team member’s points will be added together for the total team points for the week.
Example:
Handicaps will be established after Week 2 and will be adjusted weekly after that based on score (not points). The max score used to calculate handicap is a net double bogey (eliminates players trying to sandbag if they are not going to score on a hole).
Leaderboard will be live after Week 2.

| 3 | Spyglass Hill | Tight tee shots & long approaches | Mix of coastal opening holes and dense forest lines. |

| 5 | Torrey Pines – South | Power + precision | Big fairways, long par 4s; coastal wind impact. |
| 6 | Bandon Dunes (choose Pacific Dunes or Old Mac) | Pure links creativity | Great for bump-and-run practice; fun angles. |
