| Well there are a ton of formats out there if you want to mix golfers of all skill levels and still have a good time. Here are just a few of my personal favorites:
Texas Scramble: Think best ball from the tee and then everyone for themselves from then on in. You can modify this to say that you can only take the best drive if your's is in trouble, ob, etc.
Modified Alternating Shot: Two man teams, both players hit from the tee, you take the better of the two tee shots and then you alternate from then on in. This is what they use for the father-son amateur here in NC.
Lone Wolf: Alternate honors every hole. Random draw on the first tee, but then if you hit first on the first hole you hit 2nd on the 2nd, and the person who hit last hits first. The person who is last to tee off is called the wolf. They have the option of selecting a partner for the hole (must make selection prior to their tee shot, and once someone hits you can not select them) or going it alone. If you go lone wolf the hole is worth double. From there on in it is a fourball tournament with either two teams of two for that hole or three against one.
If you like the sounds of any of these just ask and I will put up the full rules. These are my favorite three games, and usually when I play with some of my old golf team buddies these are the ones we will play. I wish I could join in this outing but I leave to go back to med school in two weeks, and I just don't get any breaks. Hope it goes well.  |
