Seen this type of game on other forums and I wanted to see how it would work here. If this is successful then I can extend this and possibly give out some goodies to the "winners".
What Forum Golf is, it's a game in which there are members of the forums pitted against each other and other members decide their fate using a certain game system.
To keep this golf related, we will use golf terms and the golf scoring system.

Rules:
-Each player will start at E
-Each player can only be picked 9 times* (see mulligan)
-One members can post what they want to happen to their "victim" by posting whether they want to birdie, par, bogey, or mulligan them.
--Birdie is -1
--Par is E (no stroke)
--Bogey is +1
--Mulligan removes their last stroke and replaces it with a new one of your choice. This does not take away a hole as it replaces a hole.
---Only one mulligan is allotted per hole for each golfer.
-There are no eagles or better and no double bogeys or worse. The most any player can get is one stroke per hole.
-The holes are not based off any course. You are the hole and you decide what stroke they get.
-There are no par 3, 4, or 5s. One stroke per hole.
-You can only chose one player to be affected. If you chose multiple players, the first pick is your pick.
-Any scores given after the players round is over are null and void.
-Any edited posts will be null and void (how do I know if you changed your original though?)

Post format:
PLAYER STROKE (hole)

Example I want to give Tiger a birdie on the first hole:
Tiger -1 (1)

Then I want to give Tiger a bogey on the second:
Tiger E (2)

Another THPer says, I don't like that, mulligan and replace with birdie:
Tiger -2 (2) The mulligan removes the bogey and is replace with the birdie, Tiger is now done with the second hole.

Since this is a beta trial I will use golfer names and see how this works.

Tiger Woods
Phil Mickelson
Rory McIlroy
Bubba Watson
Arnold Palmer


I will start off:
Palmer -1 (1)

I don't get it. Do we just get to randomly assign a stroke to a golfer?

Yes. One stroke to one golfer. After nine, which ever golfer has the lowest score wins.

In that case. Rory just aced the first hole.

Rory (-3)

Birdie, par, bogey my friend. There are no par 3, 4, or 5. Just where they are after nine "holes".

Hopefully this catches on. Would be interesting to see what happens if THPers are in the game and not actual golfers.
