Single Match Play
The Two Person Team Match Play event is an ongoing single-elimination tournament in which two teams play match play during each round. The winning team advances to the next round. All players must be active members of the ACGC.
Match play is one of the two primary forms of competition in golf. It pits players one against another, rather than one against the field as in stroke play. Opponents in match play compete to win individual holes, and the player who wins the most holes wins the match.

Win a hole, that's one for you; lose a hole, that's one for your opponent. Ties on individual holes (called halves) essentially don't count; they aren't kept track of in the scorekeeping.

Match play adds nerves and gamesmanship to golf. Both are likely to increase because the one player you must beat is right there next to you. Take a lead and you're likely to feel more relaxed. Fall behind and you're likely to feel much more pressure.
