Below you will find a list of the individual types of play modes with all the information on the distribution of requirements, form of play and various rules.

Single or double

Counting games

- Single Count Betting Game (Stroke Play)

Default effective: Yes

The counting game is played according to the golf rules of the counting game. The number of strokes is entered after each hole. The end result is the gross score. The net result is calculated from the gross score minus the playing handicap of the player.

From the result of the 18-hole round the playing handicap of the applicant is subtracted, in the case of plus handicaps it is added to the gross result.

If a game or a tie-off according to rule 33-6 of the golf rules with a target goes over less than 18 holes, the number of holes must be multiplied by 1/18 of the game target (and then rounded up or down).
Examples: Proportional game target
14 for 3 holes = 2,33 = 2
13 for 5 holes = 3,61 = 4
15 for 7 holes = 5,83 = 6

- Single Stableford

Default effective: Yes

The betting game is named after Dr. Stableford. It is reported that Dr. Stableford developed the points system on the basis of "eternity rounds" with his wife. The Stableford system was officially included in the golf rules in 1968 and is played according to the rules of the counting game (R 3).

The scoring:
Double-Bogey (2 over par) or more = 0 points
Bogey ( 1 over par) = 1 point
Par = 2 points
Birdie (1 under par) = 3 points
Eagle (2 under par) = 4 points
Albatros (3 under par) = 5 points
This rating applies to both gross and net, i.e. a distinction is made between gross and net points.

The applicant's target score is distributed to the most difficult holes of the 18-hole round according to the target score (example: A player with target score 18 receives one target score per hole of an 18-hole round). A player with a target of 20 will receive one more target shot for each of the most difficult and second most difficult holes. A player with target 36 receives two target shots per hole). If a game or a jump-off goes over less than 18 holes according to rule 33-6 of the golf rules with a target of less than 18 holes, the target applies to each hole according to this distribution.
