Fourball:A match involving four players in teams of two, in which each player plays his own ball. The scoring format can be either Match Play, Strokeplay or Stableford. Usually, the best score (better ball) of the two players in one team is counted against the better ball of the two players in the other team, hence the term Fourball Better Ball. A variation from Better Ball is to count the Aggregate score of the team versus the aggregate of the other team, i.e. Fourball Agggregate.Foursome :A match involving four players in teams of two, in which each team plays only one ball by alternate strokes. The scoring format can be either Match Play, Strokeplay or Stableford. At the start of play each team decides which player will play the first tee-shot, after which they alternate the tee shot on each hole.Foursome (canadian) :A variation on the foursome. Each player plays his ball from the tee, and also plays his second shot. The team then chooses the best placed ball to complete the holeStableford :A scoring system developed by Dr Frank Stableford, which has become very popular for club competitions in Europe. A player's net score for each hole attracts a certain number of points : par = 2 pts; one under par = 3 pts; 2 under = 4 pts; 3 under = 5 pts; one over par = 1 pt; 2 over = 0 pts. "Ambrose Competition" is another name for a scramble, but one in which a team handicap is used. All players tee off, the best shot is selected and all players hit again from that same spot. The best second shot is selected, and all players hit from that same spot, and so on until the ball is holed.If the scramble is called an "Ambrose," it means that handicaps are used in play, with a fraction of the total handicaps of the group members serving as one handicap for the group.For example, if it's a 2-person scramble, the handicaps of the two players are added together and divided by 4. For a 3-person scramble, divide by 6; for a 4-person scramble, divide by 8.The arithmetic produces one group handicap which is used during play.Also Known As: Scramble, 2-man scramble, 3-man scramble, 4-man scramble
