Callaway System

A point system that adjusts scores to allow for competitive play between players of widely varying abilities. The Callaway Scoring System is a kind of handicapping method for games where players may not have or know their handicap (Kelley, About.com). The Callaway System caps the score on any hole at twice the value of par on that hole. When the scores for the round are tallied, players deduct or reduce the scores for a number of holes, excluding the 17th and 18th holes (U.S. Golf Association). The number of holes that can be deducted is based on the gross score, with more holes deducted or halved the higher the gross score is.
