↕️High Low

How It Works

Everyone plays their own ball for all 18. On every hole, two separate comparisons happen between the teams: the LOW ball (each team's better net score) and the HIGH ball (each team's worse net score). Winning a comparison is worth 1 point, so a hole is worth up to 2 points — sweep both and you win the hole outright; split them and the hole is a wash.

Scoring in theStick

Enter each player's own score like any individual game — there's no shared team score row to fill in.

Options & Variations

Stroke play only — with two independent point comparisons per hole, a running-holes-up match play framing doesn't map onto this format the way it does for a single best-ball comparison. Bet-per-player (default $20). Assign Team A / B — same "tap to swap players in or out" picker as Four Ball/Shamble/Aggregate. Handicaps: Index on Low HC (on, indexed off the active four) with a single percentage applied identically to both partners (default 100%, same flat model as Four Ball), plus Full or Half strokes.

Payouts

Whichever team scores more total points across the round takes the pot. A tie in points exchanges nothing.

Pro Tips

• The high-ball point rewards a team where BOTH partners play solidly — a great low ball doesn't make up for a blown-up partner's score in that comparison.
• A team with one hot player and one steady player can still win the low-ball point every time but keeps losing the high-ball point — worth watching both scores, not just whoever is leading.
