Team Play consists of players competing in groups of four with both a four-ball match and two concurrent singles matches being played in each group. Points won by all groups throughout the match are tallied to determine which team wins the match.18-hole four-ball match with the winner being awarded 1 point. In the event of a tied match, one point is awarded to each team.   Singles" is a match in which one player competes against   another player. A player wins the match when he is up by more holes than there are holes remaining to play.  "Foursomes" play is a match where two golfers play  together against two other golfers and each team plays one ball. The golfers play alternate shots (player A hits tee shot, player B hits second shot, etc)  until the hole is played out. Team members alternate playing the tee shots, with one golfer hitting the tee shot on odd-numbered holes, and the other hitting the tee shot on the even-numbered holes. The team with the better score wins the  hole. Should the two teams tie for best score, the hole is halved ll games are played under Match Play rules, where the result of each game is determined by the number of holes won. The order of play for the Second Day is four balls in the morning and Foursomes in the afternoon. The final day's play will be in Singles format.  .  

 All players will play to 100% of their Course Handicap, using their current Handicap Index. 

In  the four-ball match, the lowest handicap player will play at scratch  and the other  players in the group will receive the difference in strokes as  they fall on scorecard with a maximum allowance of four strokes. In the  Foursomes match each teams players handicap will be added and  then Divided by two and the team with the lowest handicap will  play to scratch while the other team will receive the difference in strokes,  with a maximum allowance of four strokes. In all  matches, the allocations of handicap strokes will be listed on the score card, regardless of the start hole.

In the  individual match, the highest handicap player of the two players will receive  the difference in strokes between his handicap and that of his opponent   where the strokes fall on the scorecard. Maximum handicap differential will be six strokes between players.
