Power Golf is a new sport which features the expertise of driving a golf ball. Only the driver is used and all play is generated from a tee box located on an actual golf hole. The driver being used by the player must abide by the rules and specifications determined by the United States Golf Association.

A player’s success at Power Golf will be determined by his or her ability to maneuver a golf ball, strike it with power, and utilize a technique which also provides great accuracy. Without question, a difficult trio of pre-requisites to be successful.

Note: The four (4) Power Golfers with the highest cumulative individual scores at the end of the 2008 season will automatically advance to the 2009 team. The remaining openings for the 2009 season will be filled via a Qualifying Event to be held in Fall 2008.

Scoring

1. The scoring system is incorporated within a competition grid which is the fairway area of the golf hole.
2. The scoring zones begin at 220 yards for the NASCAR players and at 300 yards for the Power Golf professionals.
3. Scoring zones are in ten yard increments and point totals increase by five points per zone (zones 1-10) as the player successfully lands shots further up the scoring grid.
4. Zone 11 is worth 100 points for the NASCAR player hitting beyond 320 yards or the Power Golf professional hitting beyond 400 yards.
5. Each player receives an equal number of tee shots per round and has the opportunity to accumulate points with each and every shot.
6. Tee shots that come to rest outside of the grid will not count for points.
7. Defined hazards, if any, will vary from course to course. Scoring for identified hazards will be as follows:
   • If the ball comes to rest within the hazard or on the exterior perimeter line of the hazard (i.e., the red line of the hazard), the competitor earns 25 points.
   • If the ball comes to rest on the interior perimeter line of the hazard (i.e., the black line of the hazard), the competitor earns the grid points associated with that location.
