If player A gets a 4 and player B gets a 5, the team score is 45, the lowest number goes first. If one player scores 10 or more, the team’s score uses the high number first. So a 4 and a 10 is 104 instead of 410.
Daytona
Daytona is a fun game played in teams of two. The players scores are paired rather than combined in order to determine a team score: the high score multiplied by 10 with the lower score added to that value.

For example, player A gets a 4 and player B gets a 5 on a par 3, the team score is 54. But if player A gets a 3, then the team score is 35.
If both players make bogey or worse and one of them makes 10 or more, then the low score is multiplied by 100 and the higher is added.
Example: on a par 4, player A makes 5 and player B makes 11, the team score will be 511 instead of 115.
This is a game that combines the scores to get the lowest possible when one player on the team makes par or better, but if both play bogey or worse, the scores are combined to form the highest possible number.

The winner is the player who holds the Rabbit on the 9th and on the 18th hole. After the 9th hole the Rabbit is set free again.

On each hole, all players play their own balls. If the player on the spot beats the worst of the others, earns a point. For example, Player 1 is on the spot and scores a 5, the other three score 3, 4 and 6. Player 1 beats the worst (6).

For example, on hole 1 player A scores 4, players B, C and D score 5, 6 and 5. Player A wins the ace and becomes 7 points (2 points from each player plus another one from C). Players B and D get -1 point each (they get 1 point from C but give 2 to A). Player D, is the deuce, so it get – 5 because he/she gives 2 points to A and 1 point to each player.
