The Way It's Played
In match play, each hole is a separate competition. The player with the fewest strokes
on an individual hole wins that hole; the player winning the most holes wins the
match.
This match play event is directly player vs. player. There is one opponent you must beat,
and that's the opponent you're facing. Beat that opponent and you will move on to the
next round. Playing bracket will be randomly assigned through a drawing. This
Tournament will consist of 5 total rounds.
General
The state of the match is expressed by the terms: so many "holes up" or "all square," and
so many "to play." A side is "dormie" when it is as many holes up as there are holes
remaining to be played. Win a hole, that's one for you; lose a hole, that's one for your
opponent. Ties essentially don't count; they aren't kept track of in the scorekeeping.
Halved Hole
A hole is halved if each side holes out in the same number of strokes. When a player has
holed out and his opponent has been left with a stroke for the half, if the player
subsequently incurs a penalty, the hole is halved.
Winner of Match
A match is won when one side leads by a number of holes greater than the number
remaining to be played. If there is a tie, continue playing mutually agreed upon holes and
pin locations. The first player to win a “Sudden Death” hole will win the match.
Conceded Putts
In friendly rounds of golf, golfers often ask for and give "gimmies," very short putts that
one simply picks up rather than holing out. Gimmies, needless to say, are illegal under
the Rules of Golf, but many recreational golfers use them anyway.
In match play, however, conceded putts are perfectly legal. Your opponent can concede a
putt to you at any point, whether it's six inches from the cup or 60 feet. But conceded
putts almost always come, of course, on very short putts.
Conceded putts should only be offered, they should never be requested. That's why in
some match play matches you'll notice a golfer lingering over a very short putt - the
golfer is hoping his opponent will tell him to just pick it up.
Hit That One Again
There are several scenarios in match play where a transgression might result in your
opponent canceling your shot and requiring you to replay it; whereas in stroke play, the
same transgression would result in a 2-stroke penalty or no penalty at all.
A few examples:
• Playing out of turn: In stroke play, order of play is a matter of etiquette. If you hit out of
turn, it's a breach of etiquette, but there is no penalty. In match play, if you hit out of turn
your opponent can require you to replay the shot in the proper order. And if your first
shot was a great one, you can bet that you'll be replaying.
• Hitting from outside the teeing ground: In stroke play, teeing off from outside the teeing
ground (the teeing ground is between the tee markers and up to two club lengths behind
the tee markers) results in a 2-stroke penalty. In match play, there is no stroke penalty,
but your opponent can cancel your shot and require you to replay it.
• Hitting an opponent: In stroke play, if your ball hits a fellow-competitor or his
equipment (if it is accidently stopped or deflected by same), it's rub of the green. In
match play, you have the option to replay the shot.
• Hitting a ball at rest on the green: In stroke play, if your putt strikes another ball on the
green, you get a 2-stroke penalty. In match play, there is no penalty.
Concession of Match, Hole or Next Stroke
A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match.
A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole. A
player may concede his opponent’s next stroke at any time, provided the opponent’s ball
is at rest. The opponent is considered to have holed out with his next stroke, and the ball
may be removed by either side. A concession may not be declined or withdrawn.
Doubt as to Procedure; Disputes and Claims
In match play, if a doubt or dispute arises between the players, a player may make a
claim. If no duly authorized representative of the Committee is available within a
reasonable time, the players must continue the match without delay. The Committee may
consider a claim only if the player making the claim notifies his opponent (i) that he is
making a claim, (ii) of the facts of the situation and (iii) that he wants a ruling. The claim
must be made before any player in the match plays from the next teeing ground or, in the
case of the last hole of the match, before all players in the match leave the putting green.
A later claim may not be considered by the Committee, unless it is based on facts
previously unknown to the player making the claim and he had been given wrong
information by an opponent.
Once the result of the match has been officially announced, a later claim may not be
considered by the Committee, unless it is satisfied that the opponent knew he was giving
wrong information.
General Penalty
This tournament will be governed by the regular rules of golf. Stroke penalties must be
considered when determining the proper outcome of the hole played.
