The better the net score on the hole, the more points the player receives. The player with the highest total points wins.Example: If a player scores 2 points on the 1st, 1 point on the 2nd, and 3 points on the 3rd, those points are added together for the overall total.Common mistakes: Players often confuse gross and net scoring, or think the winner is the player with the fewest strokes rather than the most points.Singles Stroke Play DetailsSingles Stroke PlayDescription: An individual competition where every stroke counts and the total number of strokes for the round determines the result.How scoring works: The player adds up all strokes taken over the round. The lowest total score wins. This may be played as gross or net stroke play depending on the competition terms.Example: If a player takes 5 on the 1st, 4 on the 2nd, and 3 on the 3rd, all strokes are added to produce the running total.Common mistakes: Players sometimes lift without holing out or assume they can stop on a bad hole as they might in Stableford.Singles V-Par DetailsSingles V-ParDescription: An individual competition where each hole is won, lost, or halved against a target score based on par and handicap.How scoring works: A player compares their net score on each hole to the target score. Better than target wins the hole, same as target halves it, and worse loses it. Final result is holes up or down.Example: If a player is +1 after 6 holes, they have won one more hole than they have lost.Common mistakes: Players often confuse V-Par with Stableford and try to count points instead of holes won, lost, or halved.Singles Matchplay DetailsSingles MatchplayDescription: A head-to-head competition where one player competes directly against another on a hole-by-hole basis.How scoring works: Whoever takes fewer strokes on a hole wins that hole. If both players take the same score, the hole is halved. The winner is the player leading by more holes than remain.Example: If Player A has won 3 holes and Player B has won 1 after 9 holes, Player A is 2 up.Common mistakes: Players often confuse match play procedures with stroke play, especially around concessions, penalties, and order of play.Fourball Stableford DetailsFourball (Better-Ball)Description: A team competition involving two partners, where the better score of the two counts on each hole.How scoring works: Each partner plays their own ball for the hole.
