Prizes & Ziffle Points

With New members in the swing of things it is time to explain how Prize money and Ziffle points are won. 

Each month you will see a spreadsheet like the one above. It is primarily to let you know who won what and how. 

Most of the columns are self explanatory, so I will focus on the others.

a.       Net Score – while this may seem self-explanatory you should note that everyone in a flight might not play from the same tee.  You are allowed to play any tee that you find enjoyable, your handicap will be adjusted accordingly. .

b.      Net Points – these are Ziffle points. Ziffle points are giving within flights and ties are broken using USGA back nine tiebreaker on your actual score.  Point system is 300, 200, 150, 130, 110,90,70,50, 40, 30, 20, 10 for the first 12 places.

c.       Gross Points – these are also Ziffle points. The three best gross scores in each flight are given Ziffle points (50, 35,25). 

d.      Flight Prize Money – The top three positions in EACH flight win prize money, the tiebreaker is used to further position players if there is a net tie. The value of the prize money varies with the size of the field. Above it is three flights with the prize being 25, 15, 10  respectively for 1^st through 3^rd.

e.       Closest to the Pin – because everyone is in Closest to the Pin you win Ziffle points and cash. The Ziffle points are equal to the amount of cash you win. That amount varies depending upon the number of players and flights. There is one winner in each flight on up to 4 par 3's at each course.

f.        Ziffle points should be equal to your Net Points + Gross Points + Closest to the Pin.

g.      Gross and Net Skins are voluntary events therefore they do not figure in the Ziffle points only in cash.

h.       Total $$ should equal Net Prize Money + Closest to the Pin + Gross Skins + Net Skins.

Hopefully this helps you understand the monthly results and enjoy your round even more.
