Other forms of individual stroke play and match play

Illustration for Other forms of individual stroke play and match play

Rule 21 describes four forms of play: Stableford, maximum score, and par/bogey (variations of stroke play usually played individually), and three-ball match play, where three players each play one ball and play two matches at once against the other two. Four-ball falls under Rule 23, not Rule 21.
