The lowest net score wins the competition.Ī team is made up of two players who play together. Your handicap is subtracted from your total number of strokes (Gross score) to give your net score. The player scoring the most points over the course of the competition (usually 18 holes, sometimes 36 holes) is the winner.Įvery stroke taken during the round is counted and every hole must be completed. From this:-Īnything more than a net bogey scores ZERO points and you should pick up your ball at this point. This is a stroke play competition, so no putts may be conceded as in match play.įrom the gross scores recorded, the handicap allowance is applied in accordance with the stroke index of each hole and a net score per hole calculated. In the event of a hole not being completed, a No-Return (NR) may be entered.

For those who are not familiar with this type of play it will be useful to explain how the scoring works.įirst of all, we should stress that the gross score for each hole must be recorded. The majority of the golf played by societies conforms to this format as it is not so punishing and should be quicker than medal play. PS I know Bogie, Dduble Treble and all the remaining curse words.

Perhaps people can add their own bits to help us newbies understand the lingo without us asking what it means and feeling like a total plonker. I am about to pay my first set of green fees for a local course, after looking through the website, I am confused it may as well be french.įirstly the play format - I am used to some simple formats eg points, stroke and match.
