Blind Nine

Blind Nine

Blind Nine

A tournament in which only nine of the holes count toward the round’s score (Kelley, About.com). All 18 holes are played, but only half contribute to the score for the game. The holes that count and those that don’t are determined by random after the first tee, or deliberately to make for the best game, sometimes covering a range of difficulty levels. However the scoring holes are determined, players don’t know which holes count and which don’t until the round is over. In a blind nine tournament, the players may use a full or partial handicap, determined by the organizers. Blind nine is also called blind hole.
