How it works

  1. Every hole has a low gross prize and a low net prize.

  2. Post the lowest gross score on your own to win the gross sweep.

  3. Post the lowest net score on your own to win the net sweep.

  4. Most sweeps at the end wins.

Scoring

  • A tie for low means nobody wins that sweep, and nothing carries.
  • Net scores subtract the strokes your handicap gives you on that hole, never below 1.
  • Your total is gross wins plus net wins.

Sam wins the gross sweep on the 1st and Dale on the 4th. Holes 2 and 3 tie for low gross, so no gross sweep. Net sweeps work the same way on net scores: Marcus's strokes on the hard holes can win him the net side.

Questions

How is sweeps different from skins?

Both need an outright low score. Sweeps has no birdie rule on the gross side, and your total counts gross and net wins together.

How are net scores worked out?

Your handicap strokes come off on the hardest holes by stroke index, and a net score never goes below 1.
