Only the chosen shot at each point is counted, so if four players hit four shots each, the score for the hole is still only four. (Handicaps are usually worked out as a percentage of the total of all the team’s handicaps added together. A fourball with a combined handicap of say 60 normally receives 10% i.e. 6 shots off the entire 18 holes). There are many variations of the theme though. The team must select at least four tee shots for each player during the round so that the longest hitters are not used repeatedly. |
Gotcha...I like playing best ball with the 1, 1 & 1 rule. Must use 1 drive, 1 approach and 1 putt from each player.
Other good one I heard the other day, don't know the name....
1) At least 2 teams of 4.
2) Each player must "team up" for 6 holes with each player on his team. So partner 1 for holes 1 thru 6, partner 2 for holes 7 thru 12, partner 3 for holes 13 thru 18.
3) From here, you can either use best ball or alt shot rules. Whatever you want.
4) Score is based on the strokes taken by each 2 man team added with the other 2 man team.
