Golf format

Ambrose – 18 holes

The Ambrose format is very popular as it allows all standards of golfers to mix and play together with equal enjoyment, irrespective of their ability. It also helps to promote teamwork as one score is recorded per hole. Generally, it minimises the amount of time looking for lost balls!

The Ambrose format may vary according to the competition, but a general, popular format is the main feature of this method of scoring.
