FLAG GOLF - is a competition format in which golfers begin the round of golf with an allotment of strokes, then play the golf course until their strokes run out.
The game gets its name from the fact that little flags are usually given to competitors to stick in the ground at the point from which their final shot is played.
The golfer who stakes his flag the farthest around the course is the winner. Example: Your allotment is 75 strokes. You play the course until you hit your 75th shot, which, let's say, comes on the 16th
fairway. That's where you plant your flag. If no other player's flag is planted beyond yours - say, on the 16th green or 17th tee box - you are the winner.
Flags can be played using full handicaps or partial handicaps to determine the stroke allotment. A player with a handicap of 21, for example, receives 93 strokes on a par-72 course if full handicaps are used (72 plus 21).
