Team Match Play Scoring

"Match Play" is a competition format in which two players play against each other. In "Team Match Play" players from a team are paired against players from another team by handicap. The winner of the match is determined by the most points won. There are several different ways to win points.

  • Lowest strokes on an individual hole (with handicap adjustment)
  • Most Holes Won (Match Play)
    Taking lowest strokes on more holes than your opponent.
  • Lowest Net Score (Stroke Play or Medal Play)
    (Net Score = Gross Score - Handicap)
  • Team Lowest Net - The team with the lowest total net score

In "Team Match Play" two different teams play against each other each week. The lowest handicap player from each team plays against each other. The next higher handicap players play each other. The team's points are the total points from each team member that played. Some leagues award points for the lowest total net score.

Example Match Play

The points awarded for each of these areas can be modified to match each league's own point system.

Breakdown of scoring points
  • Gary is awarded 5 strokes on the 5 highest handicap holes (18,12,14,11, & 15).
    Gary's handicap (8) minus Bob's handicap (3) equals 5 stroke advantage.
  • Two (2) points are awarded for the lowest score per hole.
    Hole 12: Gary scores (5-1) = 4 is less than Bob's score of 5. Gary wins 2 points.
    If a tie, then the points are split (one point each). Gary wins 3 holes and ties hole 18 = 7 points
    Bob wins 5 holes and ties hole 18 = 11 points
  • Bob is awarded two (2) points for the most holes won.
    Gary won 3 holes (12,14, & 16)
    Bob won 5 holes (10,11,13,15, & 17)
    Hole 18 was a tie and is not awarded to either player.
  • Bob is awarded four (4) points for the lowest net.
    Gary's Net is Gross (49) minus handicap (8) equals 41
    Bob's Net is Gross (40) minus handicap (3) equals 37
  • Gary's Total = 7 + 0 + 0 = 7
    Bob's Total = 11 + 2 + 4 = 17

Flight Scoring Method

A Flight in golf is used to place golfers in a division based on their skills. A player would only play against other players within his or her flight. This assures a player is playing against players of the same skill level. A golfer's handicap is the normal method to determine a player's flight. For example, Flight A is all players with a 8 handicap and lower. Flight B is all players with a 9 handicap or greater and below or equal to a 16 handicap.

"Flight Scoring" awards points based on where a player placed in his/her flight after the round of golf. The player with the lowest net score in their flight is awarded the highest point value.

The point value can be determine a few different ways. 1) The number of players in the flight that played that round is the point value. 2) A fixed point value.

Example Flight Scoring

The points awarded can be modified to match each league's own point system.

Stableford Scoring Method

Stableford system award points based on the number of strokes per hole. The lower the number of strokes per hole the higher the points awarded. A player plays against the course, not an opponent.

Player ranking is determined by the total number of points for all rounds played. LeagueSync has added an option to drop a selectable number of lowest rounds. This allows a player to miss a few rounds and still be competitive.

It is a popular form of the game, especially at club level and particularly in the United Kingdom, as it is still possible to record a competitive score despite having the occasional bad hole.

Example Stableford Point Table

3 Under Par or Less-35
Eagle-24

Bogey10
Double Bogey2-1
3 Over Par3-2
4 Over Par4-4
5 Over Par or Higher5-6

The player's handicap per hole is subtracted from the number of strokes per hole. The points are determined after subtracting the handicap strokes per hole. See example round below.

Example Stableford Round

The points awarded can be modified to match each league's own point system.

Best Ball Scoring

"Best Ball" scoring uses the same scoring rules as "Match Play" with teams. With Best Ball the lowest stroke per hole (with handicap) from each team is used to create the team's stroke for each hole. The Best Ball round is used to determine points between the two teams playing each other.

Example Best Ball Round

The points awarded for each of these areas can be modified to match each league's own point system.
