Stroke play

Strokeplay is the most common form of competition at most professional tournaments. In stroke play, every player (or team) competes all 18 holes and counts the total number of strokes and the party with the lower total nett score (gross score minus handicap) wins. Players normally go out in threes or sometimes in twos, for example at professional events.
