Individual 9-hole format where each player begins the round with an allotment of strokes, typically based on their handicap. They play until their strokes run out. Little flags are usually given to competitors to stick in the ground at the point from which their final shot is played. The player who stakes their flag the farthest around the course is the winner. Using handicaps often means that several golfers will reach the end of the 9th hole with strokes left. Those players with strokes remaining can stop after 9 holes and the player with the most strokes remaining is the winner.
