What is a Dogfight Match?

A Golf Dogfight is often described as the fairest game in golf.  This is because it allows players of all skill levels to compete in regular tournaments.

Each golfer in a Dogfight is assigned a quota.  A quota is a number based on a player's past performance (for example: the average of a player's last ten dogfight point totals).  In a dogfight, instead of competing by stroke play (fewest strokes wins), players are awarded points for each hole.  The object of a dogfight is to beat your quota,  If your quota is 20 and your point total for a round is 24, you are a +4 for the round.  The player with the highest Plus/Minus for the round is the winner.  Competition is fair because the better you score, the higher your quota, and the more difficult it is to beat - the worse you score, the lower your quota, and the easier it is to beat.
