Easy answer, everyone won, they got out and played some golf. Of course, that’s easy for me to say because I play for fun and couldn’t care less how I did relative to others.

TEAM 3, you start at 9 and go backwards. Birdie on 6 wins it.

Tie Breakers
 

The USGA has 24 Rules of Golf that don't apply here. Most folks learn the rules of golf by breaking them, then they never forget. The USGA does have recommendations. And in this case it's up to the Tournament Committee to determine what format is to be used for breaking ties. There is no wrong answer just one set before play starts. No tie breaking rule no tie breaking, split the money.

The fault lies with the group for not setting a tie breaking format, hence, there can be no winner of ties, Splitsville is the answer.

Usually the alpha dog in a group assumes the tournament committee role. If you don't have a Tournament committee, set one up.

As far as knowing the rules, a lot of Tour players don't know the rules. Min Woo Lee at Harbor Town hits his ball into the penalty area on #18, he goes in and tells his caddie he is going to take an unplayable lie, the rules official tells him he can't do that. Great example.

I had heard of the Australian Count Back method for deciding ties. After many rounds I realized the Alpha dog kept winning the ties. Probably because no one understood that method. Beware the alpha dog!

Breaking ties is obviously not that important to them, fun is. No wrong answer to tie breakers!

I’d vote for a few beers followed by a playoff on the practice green.

"What a stupid question." Do I detect a hint of bitterness in this response? According to many of my teachers, there are no stupid questions. Although I may be inclined to disagree, it still sounds like you may not have taken Bill &Ted's suggestion to heart.
Happy Easter!

Actually, and it is a quote from a TV show: "There ARE stupid questions, and those that ask them can be told so right to their stupid face".:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

This is the way it is done. All the holes are ranked 1-18 and you would match scores on the no. 1 ranked hole, etc. until there is a clear winner.

However, the executive’s here do not rank their holes, so you are best pulling one from random, and matching cards from that number. Of course, you could just start at #1 also.

There will be a next time, so set a policy

Really??? That’s THE way it’s done? Uh huh, gee, thanks 😂😂😂

Team one wins since they were the first to finish the round.

Should made rules before hand or went to putting green for play off.

You are responding to the wrong person. He is not the one who said, "Who cares?"

Probably, but I doubt that an informal "tournament" on an executive course has any rules, at least none that the participants are likely to follow. The only rule that I would expect them to follow, and they don't, is "rake the bunkers, fill your divots and repair any pitch marks."

In West Va, we would settle as follows: Each team that is tied picks one player. Those selected stand on the green and at the signal, fight MMA style until they are the last one standing, either by others quitting or becoming incapacitated and unable to continue. Easy enough and not complicated.

Does the loser have to slop the winner's hogs and give him his tobaki to chew as well?

Not the actually loser per se but the loser's wife, which is also his cousin.
