So I am playing a Powerplay golf tournament tomorrow.

Cliff Notes -
9 holes
2 pins on each hole, 1 difficult and 1 easy
You have 3 powerplays to take from holes 1 to 8 (must nominate before your teeshot)
If you nominate a powerplay, you must play to the difficult pin
You score double the points for net birdies or better on your powerplay holes.
On hole 9, you can nominate a 4th powerplay and you get the same points as before except if you make net bogey or worse, you get negative points.
Sounds pretty fun, and it will take 2.5 hours tops. Also it is a pretty big tournament, 6 people qualify for a bigger tournament in another city. Winners also get 2 bottles of whiskey I think.
My handicap is 9, so I get 5 stroke holes, including the 9th. I will take powerplays on 3 of those, and definitely the 9th. Interesting imo
