Flag Tournament - Each player is given
a small flag with her name and the number of strokes
equaling par plus her handicap. When she
reaches her quota of strokes, playing an extra hole
or two if necessary, she plants the flag. On
the card she writes where the 1st stroke ended her
play, (i.e. hole #18 120 yds from the green, hole #1
12 inches from the hole on the green). The
winner is the player who plants her flag the
furtherest around the course. Players will bring
their flag back to the chairperson for recording.
This tournament is flighted.
