An eclectic, or eclectic tournament, is a multi-round golf tournament that results in one 18-hole score per player.
Eclectics work this way: Participants play X number of rounds, and compare their scores on each hole per round. The lowest score made on each hole is recorded, producing an 18-hole score. Example: There are three rounds; in Round 1, the golfer makes a 6 on hole No. 1; in Round 2, a 7 on hole No. 1; in Round 3, a 4 on hole No. 1. That golfer's score for the first hole is a 4.
The lowest of each round's scores per hole are recorded on one scorecard and turned in as the final score.
An eclectic can be a stand-alone event contested over consecutive days, or it can be a tournament that runs concurrently, over longer time periods, with other, unrelated tournaments.
Thanks for the explanation. WOW! So you get mulitple tries at each hole to get a great score. I think some of my playing partners must be applying this method when getting a score to post to their index's.
