➕ Combo Score

How Combo Score works

How it works: The tournament format properly called Aggregate. Both players on a two-person team play their own ball all the way from tee to green. Nothing is discarded — instead of keeping the better ball, both scores are added together on every single hole to make the official team score. Lowest team total over the round wins.

Example: Player A cards a net 4, Player B a net 5. The team's score for that hole is 9. Over 18 holes Team A totals 148, Team B totals 152 — Team A wins by 4 and takes the game.

Why it plays differently: because every stroke from both players counts, there is nowhere to hide a blow-up hole. One triple bogey lands on the team card in full. That is exactly why it is the format behind so many member-guest events — it rewards steady, conservative team play instead of one hero and one passenger.

Not the same as Team low ball: low ball keeps only the better ball on each hole. Combo Score keeps both.

Setup options: Units per player, net or gross, 2-man (two teams) or 4-man (whole group vs the field), team picker for any even-sized team.

Requires an even number of players (2+). Every player on a side needs a score on a hole before that hole counts — a picked-up ball has to be written down.
