Scoring & Tournament Rules

Day 1: Best Ball

Each two-person team will record their best score out of the two players for each hole (Best Ball format). For each hole, one point is awarded to the team that wins that hole, and a 1/2 point is awarded to both teams if the hole is tied. With this scoring, every hole is important, even if your team gets closed out of a match with a few holes to go, those final holes still have some meaning in the big picture. In addition, the team that wins their overall match gets a bonus point.

Day 2: Best Ball (A Flight)

Day 2: Scramble (B Flight)

Each two-person team will hit their drive, then choose the best one. Then each player will hit their approach shot, and choose the best one. This process repeats until the hole is finished. You record the score for your two-person team. For each hole, one point is awarded to the team that wins that hole, and a 1/2 point is awarded to both teams if the hole is tied. In addition, the team that wins their overall match gets a bonus point.
