Tombstone is a competition format in which golfers begin the round with an allotment of strokes, then play the course until their strokes run out.
The game gets its name from the fact that little flags (or tombstones) are usually given to competitors to stick in the ground at the point at which their final shot is played, e.g. where they died.
The golfer who stakes his flag the farthest around the course is the winner. Example: Your allotment is 75 strokes. You play the course until you hit your 75th shot, which, let's say, comes on the 16th fairway. That's where you plant your flag. If no other player's flag is planted beyond yours - say, on the 16th green or 17th tee box - you are the winner.
Please write down on your score card the point you "died" and planted your flag. Don't plant it out of bounds, in the woods, on the smokestack, or anywhere else that I can't find it.
This means you will need to keep track of your score along the way, or at least once you get up to the later holes.
Each player mark on your score card the point in which you pass the following scores and plant your flag on the course.
Groups are as follows, with your individual stoke allotment:
Group 1: Brandon Lemoine (62), Scott Moore (70), Lamar Bailey (75), Chuck Herndon (77)
Group 2: Bob Budnek (77), Daniel Powell (78), David Zobel (81), Craig Young (95)
Group 3: Rita Rupnow (76), Jerry Dempsey (79), Joe Briguccia (84), Clay Deveny (84)
Group 4: Paul Grey (88), Tom Cross (89), John Bradley (93)
Anyone caught not knowing their stroke limit will be fined $5. (This will let me know who read the email or not.)
