Front nine and back nine
The front nine plays to par 36 over 3,573 yards, and the back nine to par 36 over 3,518 yards. Nassau is scored as three separate bets — front, back and the full eighteen — so an even par split like this puts the pressure on the match rather than the card.
Where your strokes fall
Stroke index 1 is hole 7 and stroke index 18 is hole 11. A player receiving 6 shots takes them on the holes ranked 1 through 6. This is what decides a net skin, so it is worth checking before the first tee.
