Golf Scoring FT Match
Considering the less than seasonal conditions we have been suffering through in SouthWest Florida,
today's weather was ideal. Temps approaching the mid 70's, low humidity, lots of sun and refreshing breezes.
Some of those breezes were gusting to over 20 mph making our Golf Scored Field Target Match a ton of
fun. The 20 target match consisted of 7 lanes with two offhanders designated on lane 1.
We were delighted to host some visiting shooters to our venue, Ed Escue and Donovan Taylor from the East coast of Florida, and
Jill Clelland, visiting from PA. I'm not a sucker for coincidence, but today the top scores was a tie between two of those
visitors! Jill and Donovan both shot a phenomenal low score of 9. Go Figure !
Remember low score wins in this unique twist to FT Shooting. The Golf Scoring is as follows: Up to three shots allowed
in attempt to knock the target down. Miss all 3 shots and the target is scored a 4. Hit the target on your third shot, you're
scored a 3. Miss shot #1 and hit on shot #2, score a 2. Kill the target on your first shot and score a 1 OR take a chance.
Here is where the real fun begins, there is an optional chance at unique risk reward: When you fall the target on your first shot, ( and only then), you have the option of taking another shot at the same target. If you hit again, your score on that target is a "0" .
This can help offset some misses and keep your score low. However, if you miss your optional 2nd shot, you'll score a 2 for that target. Knowing which target to take that chance and "double up on" was the key to winning this match.
