A Four-Ball stroke play event is best described as two-player teams selecting the better ball on each hole as the team score for that hole.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Each player submits separate scores
• D. Worse ball is used

Answer: (A)

Four-Ball stroke play uses best-ball scoring: two players form a team and each plays their own ball on every hole. The team’s score for each hole is the better (lower) score of the two players. The worse score on that hole doesn’t count toward the team total. For example, if one teammate makes a 4 and the other a 5, the team records a 4 for that hole. The round total is the sum of those better-ball hole scores. This is different from formats where all scores are added together or where the worse ball would be used. So the statement is correct.
