Match Play
This game is played hole by hole and the winner of each hole is the player or team with the lowest score on that hole.  This game is scored for front nine and back nine, where as Match Play 18 goes for the entire 18 holes.

You can also specify how many holes a player or team is down before an additional game starts known as a "Press".  If you specify 2 down autos, when a player or team loses 2 holes without winning one in between, an additional Match Play game will start for the remaining holes.

IE: Team A loses hole 1, ties hole 2 and loses hole 3.  Team A will be 2 down on the original game, and a new game will start for holes 3 - 9 (Press) in addition to the original game for holes 1 - 9.
