Nassau
This game is very simular to Match Play where the game is played hole by hole and the winner of each hole is the player or team with the lowest score on that hole.  The difference is that this game has three seperate matches, a front nine, a back nine, and an overall 18 hole match.  The 18 hole match is calculated using a running total of the front and back nine.  The points are then added or subtracted from the original game.

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.
