Practice
Practice on the course and hole of your choice.
Strokeplay
This is the most basic format for golf tournaments. In strokeplay the object is to complete a round with the fewest number of strokes. A round can be the front nine, back nine or all eighteen holes.
The total number of strokes taken for the round is then calculated against the total par for the course to provide the final par score. For instance, if a player takes eighty strokes on a par seventy-two, eighteen hole course then his final par score will be eight over par (+8).
Honor System for Strokeplay
The player who records the lowest score for the preceding hole will tee off first on the next hole.
Fourball
Two teams of two compete in best ball format. Each golfer plays his own ball and the best score of the two players' counts for the team. This score is then used to calculate a strokeplay score for the team.
Selecting the first player for each team designates this player as the team captain. This means he/she will always tee off first for that team.
Honor System for Fourball
The team that records the lowest score on the preceding hole will tee off first on the next hole.
Shoot Out
Shoot Out is one of the quickest gameplay formats to complete. Between two and eight players compete against each other on a knock out basis from a chosen starting hole. The winner of each hole is the player with the least number of strokes.
In the event of a hole being tied, the tied players go into a shoot out to determine the winner. Players play one shot from a pre-defined position and the player with the shot furthest from the hole is eliminated.

Skins
In this game, the object is to win the most 'Skins'. Players compete over 18 holes and a 'Skin' is awarded to the player with the lowest score on the hole. Each 'Skin' has a set cash value per hole and the player who wins the 'Skin' takes the money.
If any players tie on a hole, the 'Skin' is carried over to the next hole. If there is a carryover after the final hole, then play will resume the eighteenth hole. If there is still a tie after this then the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth holes will be played again until a winner is determined.
Before a 'Skins' game begins you may enable the 'Concessions' option. With this option enabled, a player will 'concede' the hole if it gets to a stage where it is impossible for him to beat another player.
Cash Value per 'Skin'
•
Holes 1-6 are worth $10,000 each.
•
Holes 7-12 are $20,000 each.
•
Holes 13-18 are $30,000 each.
Honor System for Skins
The honor order is the same throughout the competition regardless of the scoring.
Tournament
A standard golf tournament of four rounds of eighteen holes played over four days. This is the main format of play in Pro 18: World Tour Golf and all seventy-two golfers compete on a strokeplay basis.
After two rounds a cut is made which reduces the number of golfers in the field. To make the cut for the next round your score must rank you in the top half of the field.
The top thirty-six golfers (and any golfers that tied with them or who are within ten shots of the leader) now go on to play the third and fourth rounds of the tournament. In the event of a tie after seventy-two holes, there is a sudden death playoff. The eighteenth hole is played again and, if the players are still tied, then the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth holes are played again until a winner is determined.
