TheCube Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 There were two golfers. The first one scored a total of 69. The other one scored a total of 72. The golfer that scored 72 won, though. How can this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 superprismatic Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 They were using Match Play as their scoring system and the guy with 72 strokes simply won more holes than the guy with 69. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheCube Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 That is one but there is another one I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 superprismatic Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 That is one but there is another one I'm looking for. They're playing using handicaps and the guy with 69 has to add more than 3 strokes to his score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can this be? The golfer with the score of 69 quit before the end of the game thus losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can this be? I'm thinking they were in 2 different 4-somes and didn't compete against each other; the second golfer had the best score in his foursome.

0 superprismatic Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I submit that Mumbles140's answer is by far the most reasonable answer given the usual English interpretation of the problem as it was stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
