(show full description) The team’s two scores are not added together, they are put together or paired. What does that mean? Let’s say Golfer A and Golfer B form one Las Vegas team. On the first hole, A scores 5 and B scores 6. Add them up and that’s 11. But we don’t add up scores in Las Vegas, we pair them to form a new number. Put “5” and “6” together and you get 56. Fifty-six is the score for Team A/B on Hole 1. In Las Vegas, the smaller of the two scores goes first when forming the bigger number. In our example above, if A had gotten the 6 and B had scored the 5, the team score on that hole would still be 56, because the smaller number (5) goes first. A couple more examples: On Hole 2, both golfers make 4s. That becomes 44. One Hole 3, Golfer A makes 8 and Golfer B makes a 3. That’s 38. Here’s one of the exceptions we mentioned to putting the smaller number first. If one of the golfers makes a 10 or higher, the higher number goes first. This is good thing! If A scores 5 and B makes a 10, the team score is 105 rather than 510. This is a safeguard against the numbers getting out of hand. (show less)
