I work in sports media, and I can tell you if 5 players are tied for the same score, then the TV team covering the event will put the biggest name first, so the viewers can follow the stars.  IE.  Let's say Stewart Appleby, Tim Herron, Tom Lehman, Jesper Parnevik, and Tiger Woods were all tied at -10 for the lead of the Masters.  You can bet that CBS would have Tiger Woods' name listed first.

For the first round, I would group them  according to what they tell you their handicaps are.  Example; 10 - 15 hadicapppers together, and 16 -21 handicappers together.  For the Second, 3rd and 4th,  I would take the scores from the first round and then group them according to the closest scores after each day.\n\nThis would in theory give you all similar groups and scores thourougt play.

"A team consists of five players in the same group. On each hole each player drives and the best tee shot is selected by the team. Each member then plays a second shot from the spot where the selected tee shot lies and the best second shot is then selected in a similar manner. This process is repeated until the hole is completed."

Usually the posted yardage is to the center of the green from the tee box marker.\n\nThen, the flag color (on the green) indicates whether the distance is closer or farther (front, center, back).\nUsually the tee box is placed in a different place each day, to protect the grass as well, but at most courses, there is a marker in the ground to help you make adjustments from there.\nThe person who "owns" a course has obviously never been to his "course".  That is, based on his answer.\n\nSo, first you take the posted yardage, then you adjust for the tee box location.  And then also adjust for flag position.  These differances can amount to as much as 5-15 yards or more, depending on the course.

They are separate and distinct polls.  Each poll gives points out for what the voters rank you -- 25 points for 1st, 24 for 2nd, all the way down to 1 point for a 25th place vote.  They then tally all the points and rank the teams in the country from 1 to 25 and also show you who received some votes, but did not finish in the top 25.

Look at your score card for the line that says handicap.  The rating of each hole 1 through 18.  1 is the hardest.  You get 2 strokes on every hole except the holes rated 13 through 18.  Those are the easiest 6 holes.  Now you subtract the number of strokes you get on each hole from what you made on the hole.

Hello Jimmy\n\nBasic rules are to treat every one with respect , dont interfere with anothers swing, play the ball where it lies , furthest away plays first and lowest score is best. Always repair your divots and ball marks and at least one more so you can leave the course in better shape then befor you started.\n\nI would suggest reading up on some of the USGA rules at the USGA web site,,,,,,\n\nhttp://www.USGA.org\n\nThere are tons of rules but follow the above and you will enjoy your game.\n\nLeon \n\nSource(s):\n\nhttp://www.usga.org

September 2005 Golf Digest did a feature on college golf.  They broke them down in a number of ways, including skill, academics, balance, and available local courses. The article is really indepth and has a lot of great information about coaches and other players, and I couldn't do it justice summarizing it, so see if you can find it at your library.\n\nDuke was ranked number 1 though.

Im not sure what your asking.\n\n18 golfers playing 3 at a time 18/3=6 teams.\nSo you have 6 teams.\n\n6 teams or 6 threesomes playing 12 holes or 12 rounds of golf.  What would you consider a round of golf? 9 holes or 18 holes.\n\nIt takes a 4some 5 hours to complete 18 holes.\nIt takes a 4some 2-1/2 hours to complete 9 holes.\nIt takes a 3some 4 hours to complete 18 holes.\nIt takes a 3some 2 hours to complete 9 holes.\nThis is assuming that they are not constantly waiting for people ahead of them.\n\nSo based on 3somes playing 18 holes, everybody could play twice a day, for 6 days to complete 12 games.\n\nMost people can't play that much golf at once.\nEven the pros only play 1 round a day for a maximum of 4 days in a row.

Links courses have a couple atributes.  First, they usually have few or no trees.  Secondly, they are usually placed in windy areas (ie near the sea or on a hill top).  Thirdly, a true links course will go in 2 directions, front 9 holes going away from the Club House and the back 9 holes come back toward the Club house.  That's why on a golf scorecard, the front 9 holes is your "out" score and the back 9 is your "in" score.\n\nAlso, links courses traditionally will have small deep sand bunkers, called "pot" bunkers, to make up for the lack of other hazards such as trees and water.

It is the official means of comparing how good your golf game is against other players using a uniform standard called "par".  Your score over several rounds is tabulated and compared to the standard.  For each and every stroke you incur above the standard, your handicap goes up one.  For instance, if on a par 72 golf course, your average  score is 81 you would have a  handicap of 9.  This allows you to compete with players of different abilities on a more even basis.  If the 9 handicap player was playing a 5 handicap player, and the final scores over 18 holes was 80 vs. 77.  The player with the score of 80 would have beaten the player with the score of 77.  Even though the 80 was the higher score, that player gets a 4 stroke "handicap", in theory making the two players with different abilities, equal golfers.

Handicap committee is comprised of golf captains, handicap chairman and golf pro, if you are computerized a printout taken monthly can be compared to tee sheet of all golfers playing and entering scores (the majority of golfers are honest and enter every score) but there are always a few sandbaggers at every club

I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS TURNED IN A TRUTHFUL SCRAMBLE SCORE CARD IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. I HAVE PLAYED IN MANY AND HAVE SEEN SCORES AS LOW AS 53, THE HONESTY OF GOLF GOES AWAY IN A SCRAMBLE, THEY JUST WANT TO WIN...
