If you are still in doubt as to just how it works, maybe this will explain it for you. The contestant enters the tour nament by signing up at the club house where he is given a score- card. He then fires his 18 holes. After all the contestants have turned in scorecards, nine holes are picked from the course—in this case, four from the front side and five from the back nine. The holes that were picked for the blind bogey affair Saturday and Sunday were numbers. 1, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16. Par for the designated holes is then subtracted from the con testants score for these holes and this figure for the nine designated holes is then doubled. This gives the contestant’s handicap. This handicap is then subtracted from his gross or raw score and the win ners are determined. Prizes awarded to the winners were merchandise. These tournaments will be held at least once a month, Joe Fagan Pro-Manager of the golf course said this morning.
