Guides · Advent
24 mornings, 24 courses.
Updated · by the 9Daily team, Berlin
An advent calendar opens one door a day. 9Daily works the same way: every morning a new nine-hole golf course, the same for everyone. From 1 to 24 December that makes 24 courses until Christmas Eve, free in the browser.
How does 9Daily work as a golf advent calendar?
Every December morning opens a new 9Daily course. Home shows its name, photo, par, length and the day’s weather before your first shot, and door 24 opens on Christmas Eve.
What is behind each door in 9Daily?
- A new course
- Nine new holes every day, each 9Daily course with its own character, from links to woods: course types in 9Daily.
- Its own weather
- Calm, breezy, windy or stormy: Home names the day’s weather before your first shot.
- One round that counts
- One round a day counts, on the same course as everyone else’s.
- The others’ scores
- 9Daily shows how everyone else played only after your own round.
