D EFINITIONS

The following are definitions of terms used in the tournament guide. ABCD F ORMAT : When players of low, medium, and high handicaps are paired together as a team for equity. A GGREGATE : A format of play in which the scores of partners are added together. B EST B ALL : Formally known as Four Ball. A format of play in which the better score of two partners is used on each hole. C ROSS C OUNTRY : When the course is modified so that players are playing a different route around the golf course (for example, players may tee off the tenth tee and play to the 18 th green). F LIGHTS : Groups of players of similar ability competing against each other. GHIN/G OLF G ENIUS S YSTEM : Tournament and handicap software provided by the USGA that can make tournament pairings, flights, scorecards, etc. G ROSS : A player’s score before the handicap is deducted. H OLE I MPROVEMENT : A format of play in which the better score for each hole is used after two days of play. M ATCH P LAY : A format of play in which competitors play against each other by hole rather than total score. N ET : A player’s score after the handicap has been deducted. P INEHURST : A two person team format of play in which both players drive, player A hits player B’s ball and vice versa, the best shot is selected, and players alternate until the ball is holed out. R EVERSE H ORSESHOE : A system of pairings and tee times for the second round of play based on scores from the first round. Players with similar scores are paired together. The lowest scores will tee off late on the front 9 while the highest score will tee off late on the back 9. Players in the middle will tee off early on both sides. S CRAMBLE : A team format in which all players on the team tee off, the best shot is selected and all members from the team hit from that spot. This procedure is repeated until the ball is holed out. S CRAMBLE (M ODIFIED ): The same as a regular scramble, however the player whose shot is selected sits out the next shot. Usually every player putts. S HAMBLE : A team format in which all players on the team tee off, the best shot is selected and all members from the team play their own ball into the hole from that spot. The best score(s) are then counted per hole. S TABLEFORD : A format of play in which the score on each hole is assigned a point value based on par. For example a bogey may be worth 0 points, a par worth 2 points, a birdie worth 4 points, etc. S TROKE P LAY : A format of play in which the competition is based on the total score for the round rather than hole-by-hole.
