Men’s Night 10/23 — Tee Ladder with Chicago scoring on the Back 9
For our penultimate Men’s Night of the season this week, we’ll be playing Tee Ladder with Chicago scoring on the Back 9. Here’s how it works:
All players start on the Red Tees for Hole #10. If you make a gross par or better on a hole, you move up the tee ladder for the next hole:
- The “tee ladder” progresses from Red Tees → Gold Tees → White Tees → Blue Tees
If you make a gross bogey or worse, you reset and return to the Red Tees for the next hole.
Progression Example:
- Make gross bogey on Hole #10 → Remain on Red Tees for Hole #11
- Make gross par on Hole #11 → Move to Gold Tees on Hole #12
- Make gross par again on Hole #12 → Move to White Tees on Hole #13
- Make gross bogey on Hole #13 → Return to Red Tees for Hole #14
- Make gross birdie on Hole #14 → Move to Gold Tees on Hole #15
- and so on…
Rule of 75 Players (age + handicap index ≥ 75): The highest tee you can reach is the White Tees. Even if you continue making par or better, you will not move back to the Blue Tees.
Scoring:
- We’ll be using our Chicago scoring system: Players start with a negative number of points (based on 18-hole course handicaps) then add positive points during their round. The idea is to get from the negative to the positive, clearing your “hurdle” by as many points as possible.
