Quota

Quota is a fun and engaging points-based golf format where each player aims to beat their own target score (quota) based on handicap. In the end, the player who scores the most points over their quota wins the game.

What is Quota?

Quota is a scoring format where players aim to exceed a personal target score derived from their handicap. Points are earned for each hole based on performance. The more you exceed your quota, the better you rank. It’s a flexible and fun format for players of all abilities.
