📖
How It Works
Teams play the round (18 holes, or a nine) divided into segments YOU define — a pair, or a foursome that can swap partners each segment (A+B / C+D, A+C / B+D, A+D / B+C, lettered by course handicap) — any number of them, any length, each running a completely different format: Better Ball or Aggregate (own ball) for a segment, or any one-ball format (Chapman, Scramble, Foursomes, Modified Chapman, Greensomes, Gruesomes, and more) for another. There's no single "correct" split — a 6-6-6 day (e.g. Better Ball / Modified Chapman / Scramble, the shape one real club's Member-Member tournament uses) and a Ryder-Cup-style 9-9 day (Foursomes / Four Ball) are both just different Medley configurations.
🧮
Scoring in theStick
Own-ball segments (Better Ball, Aggregate) work like any normal round — both partners enter their own score. One-ball segments show a single shared score row per team, filling both teammates' scorecards automatically. Each segment applies its own handicap allowance before all of them are added together for the team's final net.
⚙️
Options & Variations
Bet-per-player (default $10). Build segments in the setup panel: pick each one's length and format, and its handicap allowance defaults to that format's own standard (e.g. Better Ball 85% flat, Scramble 35/15 split) but is overridable per segment. Segments must cover every hole with no gaps or overlaps. Stroke play only, no match-play variant. In a round with more than 4 players, pick which 4 play — same "tap to swap players in or out" picker as Four Ball/Vegas.
💰
Payouts
Whichever team's combined net across every segment is lower takes the whole pot; a tie splits it evenly. Because at least some segments never have a genuinely individual score, these rounds never count toward anyone's Skill Level.

Pro Tips
•An own-ball segment rewards steady play from BOTH partners — either one can carry a hole.
•One-ball segments all hinge on the drive: a team that drives well together gets to be aggressive on the next shot too.
