Best Ball

Competition Rules for Best Ball

Best ball will be played using 2-person teams. 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. The Handicaps will be applied to each Player.

Example: Player A gets a Net Score 5, B gets a Net Score 4, then the team score for that hole is 4, because the low score of the group was 4. Best ball is played as stroke play with the total score added up at the end of the round. All Players must Putt out. The Scores will be used for the Handicap System after the round. The Rules of the R&A apply. Please observe any Local Course Rules.

Best ball alternative can also be played as a Stableford event. Two players using their own stableford score play each hole. The score entered on the card is the best Stableford score. EG one player has Stableford score of 3 the other sores 2, the score of 3 is entered as the result for that hole. If one player has scored and their partner cannot beat that score, pick you ball up and move to the next hole in the interest of speed of play.
