3. Any stroke made from off the green with a putter counts as a putt.

1. Both players will compete for Fairway Duel on all par fours and all par fives, and Pin Hunt on all holes. The winner receives an advantage.

1. If both players hit the fairway in regulation, the player who drove farther than their opponent may choose Option A or Option B.
2. Option A: Move their own ball 10 paces along the line of play closer to the green.
3. Option B: Move the opponent’s ball backward toward the tee 10 paces.
4. Players are to move their own ball but must be in the presence of their opponent.
5. If a hazard such as water or a sand trap falls within the ten-pace count, count up to the hazard, then continue the count on the other side of the hazard.
6. The final spot of the ball must be in the fairway. If the 10 paces place the ball in the rough, continue along the line of approach until the ball can be spotted on the fairway.
7. The player who wins Fairway Duel may steal the other player’s points for hitting the fairway, but only if the other player hit the fairway.
8. If one player hits the fairway and the other does not, the player who hits the fairway wins Fairway Duel and may move their ball 10 paces forward. They may not move their opponent’s ball, and they may not steal their opponent’s points because there are no points to steal.
9. If neither player hits the fairway in regulation, there is no winner and play continues normally.

1. If both players hit their approach shot to the green in regulation, the player closer to the pin may choose to move their opponent off the green along the line of their approach shot.
2. The winner steals the other player’s points for hitting the green in regulation.
3. If they elect not to move their opponent off the green, their opponent keeps the points earned for hitting the green.
4. A golf ball is considered off the green when no part of the ball crosses the vertical plane of the edge of the green.
5. If one player or both players miss the green in regulation, play continues as normal.

1. Players may lift, clean, and replace their own ball when it is on their own fairway only.
2. The ball must be marked and replaced within 6 inches of the original position.
3. The new position of the ball may not change the driving distance results of the offense or defense player.
4. The new position of the ball may not be on the green or any closer to the pin.

1. If a player hits their ball out of bounds, they do not have to return to the original spot to re-hit. They can take a lateral drop in the fairway in the approximate location of where the ball was lost, one club length from the edge of the fairway. The player is then assessed a 2-stroke penalty.
2. A ball is considered lost after 3 minutes of searching. After that, the player must drop and be assessed the appropriate penalty.
