Handicaps & strokes

Lowest playing handicap in the match plays scratch. Everyone else receives the difference, allocated to the hardest stroke-index holes on this nine. Marked cells show where each player takes a stroke. The #N chip below SI is each hole's rank within the 9 being played — so a SI 11 hole can still be #6 hardest on the back 9 and earn a stroke for a PH-6 player.

How to score · Two-person Scramble

35% lower + 15% higher
  1. Both partners tee off, choose the better drive, and continue with one ball until holed. Repeat each shot the same way.
  2. Apply the team handicapon the marked holes — subtract the stroke count from the team's gross to get the net.
  3. Lower team-net wins the hole. Equal team-nets halve the hole.
