Some buddies and I are going to play a tournament at a local golf course soon. These buddies are not my normal golfing buddies...they are the kind that have yard sale clubs, and are ecstatic if they see a bogey in a real round of golf. The place is a par 3 course with greens more like fairways...so it's more of a have some beers and laugh at each other playing golf.
We are trying to figure out the best format to play with 4 teams of 3.
I think playing best ball would be unfair, there are 2 players that are miles ahead of the others in terms of ability....and I think those 2 teams would be clearly the best. Alternate shot wouldn't let us hit the ball enough.
I thought of the idea where we all tee off....I play person #2's next shot....they play person #3's next shot....#3 plays my next shot....and we keep alternating balls....but that would be really hard to keep score.
Creative suggestions welcome!! Then again we could just do best combined score.
