Scores
Match 1 Format
Front 9
Two Man Scramble
1 Point
Both teammates drive. Choose the best shot. Both teammates drop as much as, but no father than a club length away from the ball. The ball should be in the same condition. (Example: if the ball is in the sand, you cannot move it a clublength out of the sand). Proceed like this until you hole out.
Back 9
Two Man Scramble
1 Point
Same as above.
Match Play Description
All play is match play: you either win the hole (+1), lose the hole (-1), or halve the hole (E). It does not matter what the final tally is for the round, so if you’re blowing it bad on a hole and you have no shot to win it, concede and go get’em on the next hole. Conversely, there is money on the line and gimmie putts should be actual gimmie putts. A putter grip or more away from the hole should not be given. If you are down more holes than there are holes left to play, (for example: 4 holes with 3 holes to play) you've lost that nine. Side action time!
