stroke play
This term is a technical designation used exclusively within the sport of golf to describe a specific scoring format. It contrasts directly with match play, where the objective is to win individual holes rather than accumulate the lowest overall score for the entire course.
Because it refers to a specific system of competition, the term is treated as an uncountable noun. It describes a mode of play or a category of tournament rather than a discrete object that can be counted.
