PowerPlay Golf, the two-flag, ‘risk and reward’ nine-hole game, announced its intention to introduce the game more widely in the United States.
As part of its U.S. rollout, PowerPlay Golf will work with the World Golf Foundation, which focuses on promoting golf throughout the world.
“The relationships that the World Golf Foundation already enjoys with all the relevant parties both in the U.S. and worldwide make it an ideal resource as we seek to bring PowerPlay Golf to a wider audience in America," said David Hardy, CEO of PowerPlay Golf. "There are clear synergies in our organizations: we both seek to make golf more accessible and appealing to new audiences."
PowerPlay Golf, which uses a modified Stableford points scoring system, challenges players to choose between two flags on a green – a Black ‘PowerPlay’ Flag placed in a tough location and an easier White Flag. Players scoring net birdie or better on a PowerPlay to the Black Flag score double points, but PowerPlays are limited and golfers must deploy them carefully during their nine-hole round.
