Linda Holbrook
Match Play Simplified
 
Thanks to our Chapter's Education Chair - Linda Holbrook - for putting this together for us.  Many members of all competitive levels occasionally have trouble with match play. 
 
Match Play is a fun way for all levels of golfers to compete without the stress of playing for a final stroke total. As a matter of fact, in Match Play, it's not always the person who takes fewer total strokes who wins the match! Match play is scored by holes won, lost, or halved - not by total strokes taken in 18 holes.  Read more...

 

Rules IQ &A

 

Rule 2-4/6: Putting Out After Concession of Stroke

 

Rule 2-4 does not cover the question of whether a player may putt out after his next stroke has been conceded. A player incurs no penalty for holing out in such circumstances. However, if the act would be of assistance to a partner in a four-ball or best-ball match, the partner is, in equity (Rule 1-4), disqualified for the hole.
