Is a Match pitting two teams of two players (a total of four balls being played, hence the name) against each other using best-ball scoring.
All four players play their own ball throughout; at the end of each hole, the low score among the two partners on each team is that team's score.
Dots on scorecards
Singles match play pits Player A against Player B, hole after hole.
If Player A scores a 4 on the first hole while Player B records a 5, Player A wins the hole.
In Match Play, ties are called "halves" and are not played off (each side scores a half-point for their team).
Par-3 holes, one low ball counts as the team score;
Par-4 holes, two low balls are combined for the team score;
Par-5 holes; three low balls are combined for the team scores.
Two golfers play as a team and alternate hitting the same golf ball.
Example: Players A and B are partners. They decide among themselves who tees off first on the first hole. They decide on Player A to hit the opening tee ball. A hits the tee shot. Then Player B hits the second shot. The third stroke is played by Player A. Then Player B hits the fourth.
They alternate hitting shots until the ball is in the hole.
A scramble is where the team consists of two, three or four players. After each shot, the best of the shots is selected, and all players play from that spot (no more than 1 club length in a similar lie and no closer to the hole) until the ball is holed. One team score is recorded.
Best ball scramble all the way to the hole including putts.
Members of each 4-person team in the tournament play a scramble, but the golfer whose ball is chosen for each shot has to sit out the next stroke.
Player chooses the front nine net total or the back nine net total for game.
Pick best of tee balls and all players hit from that location, then play own ball from that point until holed out.
Each player plays against the par of each hole and receives points according to how she scores in relation to par. The scoring system is as follows (net):
0 point - Triple Bogey or more
1 point – Double Bogey
2 points – Bogey
3 points – par
4 points – Birde
6 points – Eagle
Keep count of all players scores for 18 holes, at the end of the round each player gets to throw out scores of any 3 holes of her choice.
*The lowest net individual wins.*
Players score is used once every 3-4 holes (depending on team size) until all players scores are used; then resets.
Hole #1: All players tee off and play till all have putted out. The player with the best score, circle that score.
Hole #2: All players tee off and play till all have putted out. Of the remaining three players, circle the best score.
Hole #3: All players tee off and play till all have putted out. Of the remaining two players, circle that best score.
Hole #4: All players tee off and play till all have putted out. The remaining last player must use their score and is known as “The Sucker in the Bucket.”
On Hole # 5, you start over and following the same rules as Hole #1 through #4.
(If you do not have a foursome, follow the rules based on the number of players you have in your group)
Winning team is determined by total of all circled scores, lowest score wins.
Wolf is a fun game for four players.
At the start of each hole, one player is deemed the "wolf," -- this should rotate for each hole.
After each player tees off, the "wolf" may choose any of the other players to be her partner for the hole, or choose to be solo, based on the tee shots.
If the "wolf" chooses a partner, the other two players become a team.
If the "wolf" decides to be solo, the other three players are a team.
At the end of the hole, if the "wolf" wins solo she gets two points.
If the "wolf" wins with the help of a partner, each player gets a point.
If the other team, of two or three players, wins the hole, all players from that team get a point.
On par-three holes, the "wolf" must choose her partner before the tee shot.
On par-five holes, the "wolf" may wait until everyone's second shot to choose her partner.
The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
