High-Low

High-Low is a match between two two-person teams where both players on each team need to player their ball out on each hole.  Both players' balls count on each hole and the match is decided based on the total number of points for the front/back/overall matches.

Overview

High-low is a popular variant of a match between two two-person teams.  It is a fusion of Matchplay and Nassau, where both players' balls count and there are two possible points per hole with totals for front/back and overall. It is very common to use automatic two-down presses in this format. 

High-Low is a great match format for two person teams where you want both balls to count.

How to Play

  • Teams compete against each other hole by hole.  Both balls count as follows:​​

    • Side A both players win: Side A gets two points

    • Side A has one win and one tie: Side A gets one point

    • Side A has one win and one loss: Side A gets zero points

    • Side A has two ties: Side A gets zero points

  • The game continues until one team is up by more points than there are points remaining. For example, if a player or team is 5 points up with only 2 holes left to play, they win the match.

Settings & Adjustments

  • Teams can decide on automatic presses if so desired. 

  • In team events, formats such as Four-Ball (better-ball) or Foursomes (alternate shot) can be used.
