Introduction
Golf Stars is a competitive golf game created by PAIRSGolf. The game is designed for the “A” golfer. Golfers register individually instead of as a Team. A golfer then can select their region, division and availability.
A game constitutes 2 players playing one game head to head, 3 players playing one game head to head or 4 players playing 2 separate games head to head with the winners advancing.
The Game Builder
Golf courses register and then create games at their club, either 2, 3 or 4 player and available registered players are notified by geographical region. A date, time and cost are displayed for created games. It is now up to individual golfers to decide if they want to join these games. Golfers: Talk to your course about setting up Golf Stars!
The Golfers
As a registered golfer you can immediately join an available game in your region. You will receive an email outlining the details of the game you have joined.
In the Golfers menu click My Game List and you will see the game you have just joined. When that game is full, either 2, 3 or 4 players, you will be notified via email, and you are ready to roll.
How It Works
A tee box color/name is determined before each game starts and will be stated on the scorecard. Hole winners are decided by points and not strokes. Each golfer is trying to shoot their ball closest to the hole on each shot.
An individual point is awarded at each shot provided that one of the balls in play lands closer to the hole and the shot lands on the green or fairway.
There are no points awarded if neither golfer lands their ball off of the green or fairway. If the distance to the hole is the same for both golfers then each golfer will receive a point and if both golfers putt out each golfer will receive a point.
Unlike regular PAIRSGolf, there are no penalties for missing the green or fairway. If only one golfer lands their ball on the green or fairway that ball is to be used no matter how far it traveled.
Leaderboard
A winning golfer may receive a star and show up on the leaderboard. There is criteria for that. A golfer who as reached the leaderboard will have the number of stars collected plus a link to their profile and all their winning scorecards.
Course Options
This game works best on an 18-hole golf course (front to back or back to front) or when tee times are pre-booked for two rounds on a 9-hole course or two of the courses on a 27-hole course.
Golf Stars is a popular game that invites players to challenge each other for bragging rights or maybe even a beverage!
