A&S Golf Abbreviation

All Square

All Square (A/S) is a golf term used in match play to indicate that both competitors or teams have the same number of holes won, meaning the match is tied at that point. Unlike stroke play, where the total number of shots determines the winner, match play focuses on winning individual holes rather than accumulating a total score.

A match that remains A/S deep into the round can create exciting tension, especially when heading into the final holes. If a match finishes All Square after the designated number of holes, it may result in a playoff or be considered a draw, depending on tournament rules.
