AGE ELIGIBILITY JUNIOR: For ages up to 18 years old.

MID-AMATEUR: For ages 25 years old & up. SENIOR: For ages 50 years old & up.

ALTERNATE SHOT Two-person team format where both players alternate

shots using the same ball. On each hole, both players on a team hit their own drives then choose the best shot to

start alternating from until the ball is in the hole.

FLIGHTS A “flight” is a division or grouping of golfers within an event who are competing against one another rather

than against the entire field of golfers. The flight groups can be based on gender, age, USGA Handicap Index or any other criteria to help group players for a fair competition.

FOUR-BALL Two-person team format with each player

playing her own ball. On each hole, the lower score of the two partners is the team’s score for the hole.

GROSS SCORE A gross score is the actual number of strokes

you make on a hole or in a round.

MATCH PLAY A player and opponent play an 18-hole match against each other based on holes won, lost or tied. The player who com-

pletes the hole in fewer strokes wins the hole. If the play-ers have the same score, the hole is halved (tied). When a

player leads her opponent by more holes than remain to be played, she wins the match. If a match is tied after the 18th hole, the match is extended one hole at a time until there is

a winner. The winner moves on to play another match.

NET SCORE A net score is a gross score minus any handicap strokes.

For example: A golfer with a course handicap of 8

shoots a gross score of 90. 90 minus 8 = a net score of 82

SCRAMBLE Two-person team format. On each hole,

both players tee off, then the team members choose the best shot, and both team members play the second shot from that location and again choose the best shot. Play

continues in this manner until the hole is completed.

SIX/SIX/SIX 18-hole round of golf with six holes of scramble,

six holes of alternate shot and six holes of four-ball.

STABLEFORD In a Stableford competition, you earn points

based on your score on each hole. For example:

A birdie may be worth 3 points, a par 2 points, a bogey 1 point, a double bogey 0 points. Your total score for a Stableford event is

the total points you earn rather than the number of strokes you take. The player

with the most points is the winner.

STROKE PLAYIn stroke play, a golfer counts the strokes taken to complete the play of each hole then adds up the total number of those strokes for all holes

for a total score.

GOLF GLOSSARYDo you have some questions about golf terminology? Here is a brief golf glossary of some of the formats and terms used in and relating to MGA events.
