This Saturday is the 1st round of the 2023 Foursomes Championship
For those not familiar with foursomes the format is as following:
Only members can play in the championship
Stroke play
Played in pairs
Shots are taken alternately with 1 ball played between the 2 players
player 1 tees off then player 2 plays that ball, player 1 next and so on until the ball is in the hole
on the next hole player 2 tees off then player 1 plays that ball, player 2 next and so on until the ball is in the hole
(effectively 1 player tees off on the odd numbered holes and player 2 tees off on the even numbered holes)
Which ever player order is selected for week 1 it is then reversed for week 2
Groups need to have more than 1 pairing (so check your tee time – you may have to move or not play if you don’t have a partner)
Groups of 2 or 3 do not work in week 1 (there is no swinger)
week 2 has an individual competition run for those who don’t wish to keep playing foursomes so a group of 3 is OK
