Here is the current 2005 / 2006 Shot Program. These are all shots taken out of the Master Shot Program.
This program will be used for the 2007 Masters and US Open.
56 shots are in the 2005 / 2006 program. The first 5 shots in each discipline will make up for 40 shots that everyone will shoot. The last 2 shots will be reserved for the playoff rounds at each tournament. After the 40 shots are complete, the players with the top scores (exact number will be different at each tournament) will advance to the playoff rounds and shoot the playoff shots (exact format to be determined).
