Today we had 9 ladies play a standard Stableford format with 4 (yes 4) prizes for closest to the pin. I'm very pleased to report that we had 4 different winners!
Hole #3: Veronique (at an impressive distance of 1.2m)
Hole #8: Hyun Hee
Hole #11: Hye Chin
Hole #16: Tricia
As for the Stableford Results:
Hyun Hee - 43 pts
Veronique - 38 pts
Meigan - 36 pts
Eun Young - 35 pts
Pascale - 34 pts
Heidi - 32
Hye Chin - 27
Tricia - 26
Priya - only played 9 holes.
My tip of the day is regarding the maximum number of strokes allowed per hole. This process is called Equitable Stroke Control and it is used to prevent inflating one's handicap when someone has a bad (or VERY bad) hole. I found the chart shown below on http://www.pgaprofessional.com/handicap.html It shows the maximum strokes accepted by the PGA. Other Golf Associations use different maximums. If you wish to do some research on your own, google "Equitable Stroke Control"
So for us Pebbles, once you reach your maximum allowed score per hole, you can pick up your ball and write the maximum on your scorecard. This saves time and frustration when we have bad holes :)

Equitable Stroke Control
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) is the "capping" of individual hole scores to make handicaps more indicative of a player's scoring potential. The maximum score that a player can post on any hole is based on the player's Course Handicap. In the case of a player without an established handicap scores are adjusted using the maximum hole score for the highest Course Handicap. Once your Handicap Index is established you use the ESC table below.
| Course Handicap | Maximum Score per Hole |
| up to 9 | Double Bogey |
| 10 through 19 | 7 |
| 20 through 29 | 8 |
| 30 through 39 | 9 |
| 40 or higher | 10 |
