What is a match play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Match play is a very popular format of a game, having its own charm, which cannot be experienced in a regular tournament. You have an opportunity to compete with other players from our\/your Seven Cup Golf Tour and an opportunity to make new friendships and maybe find another partner on the course. In contrast to probably the most well-known form of a game \u2013 <\/strong>shot game,thematch play is a format in which the number of winning holes is played, not shots. This is the very original form of golf. Two players stand against each other and the point for the hole is given to the one who plays it for a lower number of shots. The direct winner is determined by the number of points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation of some terms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Halved hole<\/strong>: Halved hole is a designation for a tie on a hole in a match play. None of the players get the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dormie<\/strong>: A situation in a match play where one side leads by as many holes as there are left until the end of the game. The leading side can no longer lose the game, the other one can draw only if he wins all the remaining holes. If the leader wins or halves a hole, the game can be stopped because the winner is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All-square<\/strong>: A designation of a tie in a match play \u2013 players have won the same number of holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Match play special<\/strong> \u2013 gift<\/strong>: What makes a match play different from others is the lack of finishing. The obligation to transport the ball to the hole is often eliminated. When one of the opponents has a few more shots than the other and it is evident that he will not catch up with him, the better usually gives a shot to the worse one. This can be done at any time when the ball is at rest (usually when playing on the green\/putting). Then the result counts as if the opponent played the next shot into the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One penalty YES, two NO<\/strong>: Most of the rules are the same as for the shot game, but not all! The penalties for breaking the rules are different. There where two penalties are in a shot game, the loss of a hole is similar to this penalty. The penalty of one penalty shot also exists in the match play and it is for the same transgressions as in the shot game.<\/p>\n\n\n
