Selected Score

By Brent Kelley, About.com

Definition: Are you the type of golfer who enjoys playing 36 holes in a day? Then find one, two or three other such golfers and play Selected Score.

Selected Score is a game or bet played over 36 holes of golf. To play Selected Score, start by playing 36 holes. Both rounds have to be on the same course.

Then, compare your scorecards. Select the better of the two scores you made on each hole. Add up those 18 scores for your total. Pretty simple. Low score wins.

You can play the game without playing 36 holes in a single day, however. Just schedule rounds on consecutive days (as many as you want) and then compare the scorecards after the last round.
