About Match Scoring
When you select the Match scoring method (page 2), one point is awarded at each hole to the player who has the fewest strokes. At the end of a round, the player who won the most holes wins.
NOTE: Match scoring is available only for two players.
When you set the Approach to count strokes, the device determines the winner of each round. Otherwise, at the end of each hole, select the player who had the fewest strokes, or if the number of strokes was equal, select Halved.
About Skins Scoring
When you select the skins scoring method (page 2), players compete for a prize on each hole.
When you set the Approach to count strokes, the device determines the winner of each hole. Otherwise, at the end of each hole, select the player who had the fewest strokes. You can select multiple players if there is a tie for the win.
About Stableford Scoring
When you select the Stableford scoring method (page 2), points are awarded based on the number of strokes taken relative to par. At the end of a round, the highest score wins. The Approach awards points as specified by the United States Golf Association.
