Flags

Flags:

Flags is a format of golf competition played as Stroke Play in which each side (player or team) gets a  small flag and an allotment of strokes. The number of strokes is usually calculated as par plus a portion (1/2, 2/3 or 3/4) of the side’s Course Handicap.

The competitors play the course until their strokes run out and they place flags at the point at which their balls finally land. The side which stakes its flag the farthest around the course wins the competition.
