Team round
Everyone plays their own ball, and the round has a solo winner and a winning team.
How it works
Play in at least two teams of two to four, all the same size, each player with their own ball.
The lowest total wins the individual result. A tie goes to the lower score on the hardest hole, then the next hardest, and so on, and players level on every hole share the place.
A team adds its players' totals, and the lowest team total wins. In teams of four the host can count the best two or best three totals instead of all four.
Good to know
- Ties: equal team totals share the place.
- Team size: teams are as big as the numbers allow, so 8 players make two fours.
- Picking up or leaving: no total for that player, and a team without enough totals has no total.
A worked round
Net stroke play with two results, each player getting 95% of their handicap. The lowest total wins the individual result, and a team adds its players' totals.
The momentKasper won the individual result by one on 72, but Team A lost: Sam's 73 and Jordan's 75 made 148 for Team B, one better than Kasper's 72 and Ike's 77.

Net scores, each player's handicap strokes already off. A circle marks a birdie and a square a bogey. The Net column is each player's total. A team's total adds its players'.
Handicaps
Players get 95% of their handicap, each with their own strokes. The host can play it gross or change the percentage when setting up.
Why that number? Each format has its own usual handicap allowance, set so a 20 and a 5 both have a fair shot.
