Grupo Mayan Resorts: Two Types of Competitive Golf Play

There are different types of competitive Golf play according to the Grupo Mayan experts in this sport.  Here we can find two of them.

Stroke play
Stroke play is the type of golf that people will be most familiar with, as it is the type used in most professional golfing tournaments, say the Grupo Mayan Golf experts. In this type of golf each player has a total score that is made up of their score on each hole that they play. The lowest score ( i.e. the lowest number of strokes played) after a predetermined number of holes or rounds wins the match.

The Grupo Mayan golf professionals tell us that in the event of a tie after the predetermined number of holes is complete, a playoff can take place between all tied players (this is done in professional tournaments).

One form of playoff involves playing a further number of holes, anywhere from three up to the full eighteen holes, with the winner the person on the lowest score from those extra holes.

The other method of playoff, and the one that is used in the event that there is still a tie after using the firth method, is ‘sudden death’, say the Grupo Mayan experts. This is where the players play more holes until one player scores less for that hole than all his or her opponents.

•    Match play
According to the Grupo Mayan experts in Golf, match play is where two player, or two teams of players, play each hole of a course as a separate contest. The player or team that finishes the hole in the lowest number of strokes wins that hole. If the two players or teams finish the hole in an equal number of strokes, then that hole is said to be ‘halved’ or tied.

The overall match is won by the player or team that wins more of the holes played that the other. Sometimes this will mean that the match finishes before all of the holes are played, because one party of team has a mathematically unbeatable lead – for example, a lead of four holes when there are only three holes left to be played. In these circumstances the holes remaining are generally not played.

If at any point during the match the lead is equal to the number of holes remaining, then the match is ‘dormie’, say the Grupo Mayan golf professionals. The match continues from this point until the leader either wins or draws a hole, winning the match, or their opponent wins all remaining holes, meaning the match is a tie.

To decide ties, the players or teams can play on until one side wins a hole, thus winning the match.
