@manorsgolf Here is a fun game for the next time you're on a golf trip. It’s called the Prince of Wales. All you need is your mates, a few rounds of golf and somewhere to track your scores. The game originates from @durbancountryclub when the Prince of Wales played the 12th hole. In his first round he made a 16, but the following week came back and made a 3. The rules are simple. Let’s say we’re playing four rounds of golf on our trip. On each hole you take your best score to par across the four rounds. And by the end of the trip, you’ll have built your ultimate 18-hole scorecard — your best first hole, second hole, all the way through 18. It works perfectly on any golf trip, whether you’re playing the same course all week or travelling around. Because your score to par keeps it fair when every course is different. So if the first is a par 5 one day and a par 3 the next, it doesn’t really matter, with the lowest scorecard in the group taking the win. Save this for your next golf trip and check out A Change of Course: KwaZulu-Natal live on the MANORS YouTube channel for the full story.

Tier is a fun game the next time you're on a golf trip. It's called the Prince of Wales. All you need is your mates, a few rounds of good, and somewhere to track your scores. The game originates from Durban Country Club when the Prince of Wales played the twelfth hole. In his first round he made a 16, but the following week came back and made a three. But how does the game work? Well the rules are simple. Let's say we're playing four rounds of golf on our trip. On each hole you take your best score to par across the four rounds, and by the end of the trip you'll have built your ultimate 18 hole scorecard, your best first hole, second hole, all the way through 18. It works perfectly on any golf trip, whether you're playing the same course or week or traveling around, because your score to par keeps it fair when every course is different. So if the first is a par five one day and a par three the best, it doesn't really matter with the lowest scorecard in the group taking the win.
