Green in regulation (GIR)

This determines your ability to play the fairway in a regulated amount of shots having 2 putts left for playing a par.

GIR is registered automatically on all holes where Formula:

SHOTS - PUTTS = PAR - 2 OR SMALLER / ALL THE PLAYED HOLES.

Handicap Index

This is the handicap provided by your golf club when you turn in your scorecard. It is expressed with a number taken to one decimal place and represents your potential scoring ability.

Match play score

The player with higher handicap receives the difference between the players' course handicaps as a compensation for the holes he/she is entitled to (determined by

the stroke index).

EXAMPLE: If player A's handicap is 20 and player B's handicap is 15, player A receives 1 shot compensation for 5 most difficult holes (Stoke Index 1-5).

The winner is the one who has won most holes. The game ends when the player with lower score cannot win enough holes to tie with the leader.

In this case:

The winner’s total score is the difference of the number of holes won by both players

The loser’s total score is the number of unfinished holes.

EXAMPLE: If player A is in the lead by 3 points after the 15th hole and wins the 16th hole, the game ends. The score is 4-2 in favor of the player A. The winner’s score is always displayed first.
