2-Man Best Ball: Stroke play. Pop your card according to Assignment of Strokes. Record the lowest GROSS and the lowest NET score per hole.
2-Man Scramble: Both players will tee off. Pick best drive. Both will play from within one club length from that ball. Continue in the same manner until ball is holed out. Use ½ of partners’ combined handicap for NET score.
