    "1-2-3 Best Ball": is a competition format for 4-person teams. Each     player on the team plays his own ball throughout the round. On each     hole, a predetermined number of the lower scores is used.

    One the first hole, the lowest score among the four players counts as     the team score. On the second hole, the two lowest scores become     the team score. On the third hole, the three lowest scores become the     team score. On the fourth hole, it's back to the one lowest score, and     so on throughout the round.

    1-2-3 Best Ball is a good way to keep all the players involved in the fate     of their team.

"2-2-2": is just another name for the $2 Nassau. A $2 Nassau consists of three bets, each worth $2 - the front nine, the back nine and the full 18 hole score.

Also Known As: $2 Nassau, Best Nines

In the 2-Man No Scotch golf tournament format, team members tee off, then switch balls, each playing the second shot from where the balls lie. Beginning with the third shot, the two team members play out the hole as a scramble, and record the one low ball as the team score.

    A 2-Man Scramble is a competition format that is exactly what it     sounds like: a scramble in which the teams consist of two players     each. After each shot, the best of the two shots is selected and both     players play from that spot, until the ball is holed. One team score is     recorded.

    Also Known As: 2-Person Scramble, Two-Person Scramble

    Alternate Spellings: Two-Man Scramble

    "2-Person Best Ball" is a best-ball competition format in which the     teams consist of two players. Played as one team vs. another, whether     stroke play or match play, it's simply another name for Four Ball. Each     player on the team plays his own ball until completing the hole, then     the lower of the two scores is recorded as the team score for that hole.     For more explanation, see Best Ball.

Thirty-Two is a side bet for golfers that focuses on putting. It's essentially a challenge from one golfer to another to avoid a three-putt. Let's say your buddy is facing a long, difficult putt. You invoke the thirty- two side bet. If your buddy three-putts (or worse), he owes you two units of the bet. If he two-putts (or better), you owe him three units of the bet. (If the bet is $1, for example, and he three-putts, he owes you $2; if he two-putts, you owe him $3).

Alternate Spellings: 32

    In the 4-Man Cha Cha Cha tournament format, each member of the     team plays his or her ball throughout. But a 3-hole rotation exists for     determining how many scores are used to create the team score. On     the first hole (cha), the one low ball counts as the team score. On the     second hole (cha cha), the two low balls count as the team score. On     the third hole (cha cha cha), the three low balls count as the team     score. The rotation starts over on the fourth hole.

    For a similar format, see Irish Four Ball.
