Who wins the hole in fewer strokes made his rival and does not necessarily end up putting the ball in the hole (the putt as true). Takes account of the accumulated holes won and lost and the less they say that many a player up or down much. Just when the party takes over a competitor who holes won by the close of the holes are round. (Eg 4 / 3). This formula is used in the knockout competitions and matches by teams.

MEDAL-PLAY: This game blows, the other of the two most common. Wins the player making the round in fewer strokes. They play everyone against everyone. Is the usual formula in professional tournaments and prizes for a day.

Stableford: Formula game in which each hole is scored in relation to par: 1 point for the Bogey, the two par, three for birdie, four for eagle. Has not been able to finish in the blows that are valid for the score, gives the ball. It is the only way in which those who earn the highest amount. Stableford The lot is currently used in local awards, because it is a formula less than others and can slowly lift the ball.

BEST BALL (FOURBALL): It’s a typical game between friends. Four players, each plays his ball. In each hole scores the lowest result in each side. Whoever achieves better results and scores as in match play, for holes.

GREENSOME: Formula for couples in the game by leaving two of every hole, choose the best place (the other is included) and continue to play alternate strokes to finish the hole. Used widely in club competitions.

golf tournamentCHAPMAN-GREENSOME: Formula game in pairs in which both come out at each tee, each player plays the second shot the ball with his partner and the third is chosen both of which are still playing up the hole to conclude Alternate strokes. Is the variance of the above, more tolerant, for local awards.

BEST AND WORST: Four players. Each plays his ball into each hole and get in game two points: one for the best result, as in a fourball, and another for the best of the worst two balls of each side.

SUM AND BETTER: Four players, each plays his ball into each hole and get in game two points: one for the best outcome of the camp and another in the amount of blows to the side.

UNION (AMERICAN): For parties of three. In each hole is put into play six points, distributed as follows: 2 points for each in case of a tie among the three, 3 and 3 points for each of the two players to earn and hole 4, 1 and 1, when a player wins the hole and the other two tied the second result, and the two best are distributed 4 and 2 points when produced three different results.

SKINS: For three or four players. Each hole is equipped with a number of points or money, which earns the player who achieves the lowest result. In case of tie, the strength of the hole is dragged to the next and so on, until one competitor wins the hole for everyone else. It is possible, therefore, that a player who had been struggling earlier in holes that have ended in a tie take the profits from these holes.

PRESSES: individually or in pairs, where one side is losing two downstairs has the option of starting a new game from that moment, which often bring into play half the game’s original bet.

Nasau: The game is played in three phases: the first 9 holes, 9 seconds and the overall total of the round.

In only 3 pairs are disputing the second and third. When there is a tie point is dragged to the next hole.

PIM PAM PUM: For all types of parties, in each hole are fought three points:
for a better start, one for the second shot is closer to that flag (in pairs 3 and 4, pairs 5 wins the second point with the third strike), and the third goal for the player who longest putt.

BACKGAMMON: The grace of this method is that, like in a game of cards, the side that is given may be doubling the bet when you consider that the hole takes advantage. Start taking the pit who has since left the first, if the team does not agree to play twice the original bet, and lost the hole is played by. Once accepted a bet, given the change of equipment.

ST. ANDREWS: You can play on any system. Its peculiarity is that the stake is estimated at the remaining field meters to go back to the clubhouse to finish the match. Example: If two players play and not a penny of which party wins in the hole 16, as the 17 is a par 5 of 520 meters and 330 meters is 18, the winner is 850 pesetas.
