Three games of golf
The
game of golf is an ever increasing popular game, played by millions of people. There are many variations of golf that can be
played; here are three of the most popular.
Match Play
In
match play golf two teams or two players play each golf hole as a separate game. Which ever golfer or which ever team gets the
golf ball into the hole with the least amount of shots wins the hole. The winning team or golfer gets one point for the hole
regardless of how many shots were played. If both golfers, or, both teams have taken the same amount of shots then the hole is
drawn and each player or team receives half a point. The team or player that has the most points after all the holes are played
wins.
Stroke Play
Stroke play golf is where every man or woman
is playing for them selves against everyone else. Every shot of the golf ball is counted and the person with the least amount of
golf shots wins. Every golf stroke is counted except practice swings, if your intention is to hit the golf ball and you miss that
is counted as a stroke or shot. If you have to move the ball with your hands, this is also classed as a stroke. As with match
play, stroke play can be played in teams. The winning team is the team with the least score.
Stableford
Stableford golf is played by playing against the par of the golf hole.
Each player receives points according how many shots or strokes he made to hole the golf ball. The points you receive are as
follows;
Two or more strokes over par and you receive zero points.
If you take one shot over
par you’ll receive one point.
If you equal par you’ll receive two points.
If you are one shot under par you’ll get three
points
If you are two shots under par you’ll get four points and so on.
