Golf in France - A Guide to Ways of Playing






Stableford - The players score points on each hole according to their
score, the winner being the one whose total points are the highest at
the end of the round.


To calculate points (excluding handicap)
Bogey 1 point
Par 2 points
Birdie 3 points
Eagle 4 points
Albatross 5 points


To calculate points (including handicap)
Each player receives a
number of strokes equivalent to their handicap. These points are awarded
according to the degree of difficulty of the holes. (For example, a
player with a handicap of 10 receives 1 point on the 10 most difficult
holes, a player with a handicap of 20 receives 2 points on the 2 most
difficult holes and 1 point on the other 16 holes). The net scores are
recorded accordingly.




Matchplay - The game is played hole by hole. A hole is won by the
player who takes the least number of strokes on the hole. The match is
finished when one of the players has won more holes than there are left
to play.




Strokeplay - All stokes played are counted, and this can be played without handicap (brut) or with handicap (net).




Foursomes - Each team of two has a single ball in which play is
struck alternately by each of the partners. Only one ball is therefore
hit per team. One partner take the even tees, and the other the odd
tees.




Greensomes - At the start of each home each partner hits a ball. For
the 2nd stroke, they choose which ball they prefer, and take alternate
shots intil the end of that hole.




Fourball - The 2 partners each play a ball until the hole is
finished. The score to be counted will be the better of the 2 players.
