Hi All, 
 
After playing golf for years, you would think I may have seen it all. However, I was playing on Friday at Vila Sol in a Pairs competition = points better ball, based on full h/c.
 
On the Par 5,14th hole (Index 2)  we returned a score I have never seen before.

On one hole, counting all 4 players scores, we scored 18 points!!!

How?
  • I scored 3 for 5 pts
  • Player 2  scored 5 with 2 shots, so 5 pts as well
  • Player 3  scored 4 with a shot, thats 4 pts
  • Player 4  also scored 4 with a shot, so another 4 pts
And that gives you 18 points (4 under par).

So i was thinking is this a record? Has anyone done better? 

If so lets hear about it...

I've been back here in Portugal just over a week and played 6 games, sunny every day, and long may this continue.

I will come home... but not for some time.

Roger

 Hi Roger,

I can't, honestly, beat that but up here in Cheshire it can get very wet - and the 4th hole at the premier course at Portal GC in Tarporley has the fairway closed during the winter.  Instead there is a mat 100 yards from pin.  But it's still a par 4 on the card and stroke index 4.  You can guess the rest!

 Great effort but shouldn't player 2 be 5 for 4 points , in which case you signed for a wrong score, Disqualification blackballed from club and back playing with us at Risebridge.

 dave,  you are right,  but its just my mistake,  player 2 had a 4  with 2 shots  so he did score 5 points,    the over all score was 18 points,  none of us could believe  that you could score 18 points  on one hole,
