Hey Koalanut,

I have not had the chance to finish the game. Since I write a lot of walkthroughs for Gamezebo, I don't always have the time to play games that I am not working on. However, I do sneak this one in as much as I can.

I found a description of the Scoring Cup over at Gamezebo for you from somebody called Hyzer. I just pasted it on here for you. It's a bit long.

Here is a full explaination of the Scoring Cup!

This really confused me also, but it is quite simple to understand - just really hard to get. If you look at your career stats page in the game for lowest and average scores, you will see the number listed with two numbers - something like 15 (-20).

The second number is how far under par you are, but the first number is your "score".

Also, if you look at your scorecard at the end of each hole or anytime in a game by clicking on the golf cart picture, you will see that the bottom line is the number to par, but the top line is the score. That is the number that has to be 9 or under to get the Scoring Cup!

That number comes from the number of cards left on the board at the end of each hole. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PAR! For example, on a par five home, you can leave five cards on the board and still get a par, but your score for the hole will be five, and that will seriously trash your chances at winning the cup.

In the simplest terms, if you get a perfect score, your score for the hole is zero - if you leave one card on the board your score is one - leave two cards and your score is 2 - etc. You will not be able to get the Scoring Cup if you get pars (if you get pars on a par 5 and a par 4 your score will be 9 after those two holes alone - so to win the Cup you would need to be perfect on the seven other holes - something not likely to happen.

As I mention in previous entrys above, I have had a 9 on Zebra Run and a 7 on Shady Meadows. I would recommend Shady Meadows to go for the cup, because I think that there is an advantage to having only par 3 holes. Good Luck!
