Dr Mike's MathGolf

See if you're the best at two-club golf!

Welcome to Dr Mike's Monthly MathGolf tournament! Are you ready to play?

Every month there's a new nine-hole course, and anyone is welcome to play. Playing MathGolf is easy. You just bring two clubs, a wood and an iron. Then, you practice, until you can play a perfect stroke with each of these two clubs. Then, you enter the tournament! (Psst.. parents and teachers, click here!)

For example, you might practice until you can hit 300 yards with your wood, and 200 yards with the iron. If this month's course had three holes, of 100 yards, 200 yards and 400 yards, your score would be 5.

On the first hole, you'd go 300 yards past the hole with the wood, then 200 yards back with the iron, for 2 strokes.
On the second hole, you'd swing your iron, for a 200-yard hole-in-one!
And on the third hole, you'd use the iron club twice, scoring another 2 strokes.

Don't worry about the tournament itself, your caddy will advise you what clubs to use on each hole. You just have to decide how far each club will drive the ball!

The nine holes for February, 2012 are

Hole 1 : 286 yards
Hole 2 : 319 yards
Hole 3 : 231 yards
Hole 4 : 341 yards
Hole 5 : 132 yards

By the way, this month's competition closes in about 25 days, 7 hours, 36 minutes and 54 seconds,
