How to play Match Play

The same sides as the Nassau — twosomes 1 v 1, threesomes everyone against everyone, foursomes their carts (1+2 v 3+4, best net ball) or everyone against everyone — with strokes off the low player in the match. Each hole goes to the lower net score; a tie halves it. One bet, no presses, and it works on a nine as well as 18. Set a stake and the winners each collect it from the losers, settled between the sides — never part of the entry-fee pot.

Plays best: A straight-up match inside the group without the Nassau's three bets and presses.

Pick Match Play in Game setup and Tangent does the rest: every player scores on their phone (or their Tangent app round fills the card), pops come from each player’s handicap and tee, the live board shows where everyone stands, and the money settles itself at the end — no spreadsheet, no math at the bar.

Players who play their round in the Tangent app don’t type a thing: the app keeps their card, and the live board adds tour-style stats — fairways, greens in regulation, putts, longest drive and the shot of the day by strokes gained.
