In this event you compete hole by hole, against one predetermined player and the golfer who wins the most holes at the end of 9 holes wins the match. Each hole is a separate competition. The player with the fewest net strokes (minus handicap) on an individual hole wins that hole; the player winning the most holes wins the match. The 9 hole- match begins on your starting hole and ends after 9 holes have been played. Strokes are given to an opponent by subtracting the low handicap from the high handicap.
