Same as stroke play. “Stroke play” refers to a round of golf in which the score is kept by adding the cumulative total of strokes taken throughout the round. Stroke play is different from match play, but means the same thing as medal play.
Although there are many different ways to play match play, all are built around its core principle: players (or teams) compete to win individual holes, with the side winning the most holes claiming the match.
Player A is pit 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.
2 Better Ball of Foursome: Same as a Better Ball format, however, you take the best two scores of the foursome for each hole.
This 2-person team competition format is named after Dick Chapman, a great amateur golfer who played The Masters 17 consecutive years. He “invented” the game at Pinehurst Resort, hence it is alternately called Chapman or Pinehurst. And, for good measure, it is less frequently referred to as American Foursomes.
Both players on a side tee off, then they switch balls. Player A plays Player B’s drive, and vice-versa. Each player hits his or her second shot. They then select the best of the second shots, and from that point until the ball is holed they play only one ball in an alternate shot format.
