What is Match Play?

Match Play is hole-by-hole, head-to-head between two players. Whoever has the lower net score on a hole wins it (1-up). Ties halve the hole.

The match is tracked as holes up/down. When one player leads by more holes than remain, they win - e.g. "3 & 2" means 3 up with 2 to play.

With 4, 6 or 8 players you can run several matches at once — each ball of 2 is its own match. For a 2v2 team match in one ball, use Four-ball Match.
