Without a doubt, match play. Adds strategy, pressure and a little
bit of gamesmenship. A blowup hole can be shrugged off more easily.

| Both. Match play is used for the round. Stroke play is for bragging
rights afterwards.

| 1883.3 | Difference, Please. | SWAM2::WANTJE_RA | | Fri Apr 22 1994 13:20 | 4 |
| Excuse the ignorant question, but what is the difference between stroke
and match play?

| 1883.4 | Even I can answer this one. | ANDREW::OSTROM | ETP Engineering Mgr. | Fri Apr 22 1994 14:04 | 9 |

Basically simple:
Stroke play: I scored 74, you scored 78, I win.
Match play: Compare the score on each hole. Low score wins
the hole. I win 9 holes, you win 5, we tie 4, I
win.

Thank you.
Wait a minute. How come you won both match and stroke play? I think
those 4 ties where really mine. :-}

| 1883.6 | 4 ball | AKOCOA::MKELLY | | Tue May 17 1994 14:41 | 16 |
| I play in lots of tournys - I really prefer 4 ball. It incorporates
handicap, it usually makes the match come down to the last hole, shot.
It includes three levels of strategy
golfer vs course
teammate to teammate
team vs team
It forces you to play the game differently and causes you to change the
club and the shot many more times.
If match play (like the Ryder Cup) is the next big sporting event
I think that four ball will be right behind.
4 ball is two teams in one foursome stroking of off the lowest handicap
and playing match. My partner is a 7 and is never in trouble,
and is a shrewd old codger from Maine. So I can hit first or second or
go for it or play safe or choose to let the other team hit or ....
