If the card is a diamond, and the player designated as the diamond makes a 6, then the team score is a 6. The suit on that playing card determines which member of the team has his score counted as the team score. Once team members are on the putting green, players find, in the bottom of the cup, a playing card. The first option for how scoring works in a Joker's Wild tournament is this: The four golfers on the team are playing regular golf - stroke play, each playing his or her own ball into the hole. So, remember, each golfer on the team has been designated a But there are two most-commonly used ways of selecting the team score. 3 above can vary depending on tournament organizers.

Then, on each hole, the players find out only after reaching the green or after completing the hole which team member's score(s) will count as the team's score.

This assignment has nothing to do with playing ability - the designations are made randomly.

The tournament organizers randomly assign each member of the team one of the four playing card suits (heart, diamond, spade, club).
