Eun Young - 35 pts
Pascale - 34 pts
Heidi - 32
Hye Chin - 27

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"



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 9Double Bogey
10 through 197
20 through 298
30 through 399
40 or higher10


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 :)
