"In a four-ball (or better ball of partners) match, there are two teams of two players. Each player plays his own ball, and each team uses the best score of its two players. The player with the lowest handicap plays at scratch. The remaining players adjust their handicaps by subtracting the best player's handicap from theirs. For example, your partner is a 6 and you're a 15; your opponents have handicaps of 7 and 9. Your partner plays scratch, you get 9 strokes and your opponents get 1 stroke and 3 strokes, respectively."

Points: Each match worth 1 point – ties worth ½ a point
Handicapping for Singles MatchesThe player with the lowest handicap becomes the baseline handicap and plays at scratch, meaning he doesn't get any handicap strokes. The other player gets his handicap strokes by subtracting the other player's handicap from his. For example, your handicap for this course is 15 and your opponent's is a 6. Subtract 6 from 15; your handicap is 9 and your opponent plays scratch.
Identifying Stroke Holes
Each hole has a handicap number indicated on the scorecard. You subtract a stroke from your score on each hole for which you are allocated a handicap stroke to get your net score for that hole. For example, if you gets nine strokes, you subtract a stroke from your score on each of the nine most difficult holes -- that is, the "1" handicap hole through the "9" handicap hole

Captain’s Rules of Play
General Sportsmanship
The overall goal is to have fun while we enjoy some competition. Enjoy who you are paired with – talk and have fun – please leave all music devices at the driving range as it may bother other players and certainly may inhibit conversation.
If there is a disagreement over how a rule should be applied, feel free to contact the your captain for assistance for rulings. They are not perfect, but will work to best address your question using the USGA handbook. Remember that calling captains will slow down play.
Lost Ball, Out of Bounds, Lateral Hazards and Water
- Hazards will all be played the same for all rounds.
- For the sake of time, there will be no re-tees
- For the player or team that has lost a ball that reasonably appears to be in the play, there is a one-minute time limit to look for the ball
- The timer starts when both teams acknowledge the clock to begin
- For balls lost in the hazards, there will be a one-stroke penalty; you can place the ball anywhere along the line of flight to the point of entry. Your opponent must approve your line of flight/point of entry -- please exhibit sportsmanship
Playing the wrong ball
- Loss of hole
Slow Play - May we rid ourselves of the chance for a 6-hour round
Our captains will serve as an unofficial marshal with the goal of keeping all groups in their appropriate positions on the course.
If a group is out of position by more than one hole (more than one hole behind) you will be asked to speed up and put on the clock.
If they cannot catch up in a reasonable time, they may be asked to skip a hole.
