Playing the Game: Play begins on hole #1. Each player must evaluate the total yardage of the current hole as it is listed on the scorecard to determine which Club Card(s) to use. The object of each hole is to combine the Club Cards in your hand so that the yardages of those Club Cards when added together equal, or go over by as few as possible, the yardage of the hole as it is listed on the scorecard. The fewer Club Cards a player uses, the fewer number of strokes that player gets on each hole. Each Club Card used counts as one stroke.

Matchplay

Holes are either won, halved or lost, based on the nett score of each hole. The handicap is applied using the matchplay index on the scorecard. The two competitor’s handicaps are compared and the difference e.g. 14 - 6 = 8, is the number of strokes given away. The number of holes where one stroke is allocated is then decided, according to the match index.
