Bridge is a team game that
requires a bidding strategy by
the partners, much like the card
game with the same name.
The object of the game is for
the lowest bidding team to have
a combined score equal to, or
lower than, the bid.
The first team to bid is
determined on the first tee. The
option to bid first alternates
on each hole regardless who wins
the bid.
The team that bids first has two
options:
- Bid the number of
strokes that they believe
their team will have on the
hole.
- Pass the bid to the
opposing team.
After the first bid is
declared, the opposing team has
the following options:
- Bid a lower score.
- Pass, which establishes
the other teams bid for the
hole.
- Double the point value
of the hole.(If you believe
your opponents are not
capable of scoring equal to
or lower than their bid, you
have the option to double
the point value of the
hole.)
Bidding continues until the
lowest bid is established.
Points are earned as
follows:
- The lowest bidding team
wins the point value of the
hole, if they score equal
to, or lower than, the bid.
- The lowest bidding team
loses the point value of the
hole if their combined score
is over the bid.
Bridge is a game which
involves a good deal of strategy
and makes for a very interesting
round of golf. |
