TOURNAMENT DEFINITIONS

STROKE PLAY

Each player plays his or her own ball throughout the round and is scored individually.

BEST BALL

Each player on the team plays his or her own golf ball throughout the round, and on each hole the low score - or "best ball" - of the group serves as the team score.

BEST SHOT (aka scramble)

After each shot, the best of the four shots is selected and all players on the team play from that spot, until the ball is holed. One team score is recorded.

ALTERNATING SHOT

Alternate Shot, is a competition format in which 2-person teams alternate hitting the same ball. The first player tees off, the second player hits the second shot, the first player hits the third shot, and so on until the ball is holed. Tee balls are alternated so that the same player doesn't hit every drive.

2-PERSON or 4-PERSON SCRAMBLE

A 2-person Scramble is a competition format that is exactly what it sounds like: a scramble in which the teams consist of two or four players each. After each shot, the best of the two or four shots is selected and all players play from that spot, until the ball is holed. One team score is recorded.

FOUR BALL

Four Ball is a match pitting two teams of two players (a total of four balls being played, hence the name) against each other using best-ball scoring.

All four players play their own ball throughout; at the end of each hole, the low score among the two partners on each team is that team's score. For example, Players A and B form one team. On the first hole, A scores a 5, B scores a 6, so the team score is 5.

TEXAS SCRAMBLE

Scrambles involve 4-person teams playing four balls, but with each shot coming from the same spot (the best of the four drives is chosen and all four team members then hit from that spot, and so on).

The variation in a Texas Scramble is that at least four drives of each member of the team must be used during the course of the round (18 holes): At least four drives hit by Player A, four by Player B, and so on. In a regular scramble, a great driver might have his tee ball used on every hole. A Texas Scramble eliminates that possibility and allows even the weakest driver on the team to get into the action.

CALCUTTA

In a Calcutta, golfers bid, auction style, on the golfer or team who they think will win the tournament (you can bid on yourself or your own team, too). All the money raised through the "auction" goes into the pot. At the end of the tournament, those who "won" the team that then won the tournament get a pre-determined payout from the auction pool.  The precise rules of a Calcutta can vary from place to place; many tournament organizers employ software programs that apply odds and determine win-place-show amounts.
