Par score so far (ie sum of all the scores for this 18 hole round)
I’d suggest:
4 guesses is par = 0
3 guesses is 1 under par = -1
2 guesses is 2 under par = -2
1 guess is 3 under par = -3
5 guesses 1 over par = +1
6 guesses 2 over par = +2
Over 6 guesses 3 over par +3
(Howdy suggested par at 5 guesses which might work out well but let’s try at 4 first if only because 18 x 4 = 72 and it seems more like golf!)
If we each keep our own scores I can publish a “Leaderboard” every few days to see our rankings. I’ll then show a final Leaderboard after 18 days (holes). The person with the lowest accumulated score is the winner.
I did it in 3 guesses today (Friday) So suggest this format:
Hole 1 (Nov 11): 3
Par score: -1
Par score so far: -1
(For the avoidance of doubt, if tomorrow I guess it in 5, my Par score for that hole will be +1 and my Par score so far will be Par ie 0 being the sum of -1 and +1)
Let me know if you’re in. If we have three or more it’s worth a try. Let’s start in a couple of days so you can raise doubts and suggest possible improvements.
