## Resource

Match play is simple enough. Card a better score than your opponent on the hole, you win the hole. But what if you could only win the hole with a birdie or better? That's Birdie Sprint, and, as LKD explains, you'll see it a lot during pro-am rounds at PGA Tour events. Here's how you can play it and/or adapt it for your skill level.
