Golf words

Gross
The strokes you actually took.
Net
Your gross score minus the strokes your handicap gives you.
Strokes
The shots your handicap gives you, starting on the hardest holes. The scorecard ranks every hole, 1 the hardest.
Press
In a match, a new match the side that's behind starts. It runs from the next hole to the end of the nine or the round.
Stableford
Points on every hole against par. Highest total wins, and a bad hole costs you nothing more.
Match play
Hole by hole, head to head. Win more holes than are left and the match is over.
Nassau
Three matches in one: the front, the back and the eighteen, with presses.
Skins
Every hole is a skin. Win it outright or it carries to the next.
Scramble
Everyone hits, the team plays the best shot. One team score per hole.
Four-ball stroke play
Partners each play their own ball. The better one counts on every hole.
Crew
Your regular group of golfers, with its own page and chat.
Waiting to be placed
Players who joined from the round's link and wait for the host to put them in the round's games.
Co-host
