Understanding NCAA Golf Scoring

NCAA golf tournaments feature both team and individual competitions happening simultaneously. This year live scoring will be provided by Scoreboard powered by clippd and can be accessed at westbrookgolf.com/uw or the official clippd page

Team Scoring
Each team consists of five players, but only the best four scores count towards the team total for each round (the worst score is dropped).

Example Team Round Score:

Player 1: 72
Player 2: 74
Player 3: 70
Player 4: 75
Player 5: 78 (dropped as the high score)
Team Score for the Round: 72 + 74 + 70 + 75 = 291

At the end of the tournament, the team with the lowest total score over three rounds wins!

Individual Scoring
Each player competes for their own individual score, including any extra players teams bring just for the individual competition. The player with the lowest score over 54 holes is crowned the individual champion.

This weekend promises to be an incredible showcase of talent, competition, and community spirit. In the past we had a NCAA & course record of 61 shot by Anna Zanusso (2020). Whether you’re following your favorite teams, volunteering, or enjoying the atmosphere, get ready for an unforgettable Westbrook Invitational because these players are Good!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of our members for your incredible restraint regarding tee-time limitations this weekend. Your cooperation allowed us to accommodate every request even without the need for a Sunday double shotgun. Monday is another story, we were able get everyone on the tee sheet however a few groups are in the 2:45pm shotgun at the Vistas.

This is a wonderful opportunity to watch some amazing golf at the Vistas Course this weekend. Thank you again for your assistance in making this a great weekend!
