Match Play

How to Play Match Play

Match Play is a classic game for two players. A player wins the hole by obtaining the lowest net score. A fun option to the game is playing a short match if and when the original match is over and for the remainder of the holes. Usually, the bet of the short match is half that of the first bet. The game is suited for all handicap levels, but it is best for players with the same skill level. The winning player wins the match bet.

If playing in a foursome, you can play individual matches. The scores show how many holes a player is up, down, or tied. The final score is written in the form of holes up & holes left. For example, if there are 3 holes left and player A is up 4 holes, the game is over, and the final score is 4&3.
