How golf scoring works

Short, plain-English guides to the formats Eagle Sheet plays and the handicap math behind them — so you can set up a round with confidence.

Tournament Formats

Points per hole, handicap strokes via Stroke Index, and net vs gross play.

Each player beats a personal quota of 36 minus their handicap, scoring on gross.

Total strokes, lowest wins — net or gross, scored to par with a live “thru” count.

Head-to-head, hole by hole — win, lose or halve, with closeouts like 3&2.

A team option — everyone plays their own ball and the best score on each hole counts.
