FORMAT

Morning – foursomes

Afternoon-St Andrews foursomes

MORNING FOURSOMES: Member and guest (one half of the combined full handicaps).

Playing for the Hill/Baillie Rose Bowl.

Ladies – Red tees, Men-yellow/tee of the day.

NOTE: LSGC Members partnering each other in the foursomes will NOT  be eligible to win the Hill/Baillie Rose Bowl, but will still be able to win another prize.

AFTERNOON ST ANDREWS FOURSOMES: (one half of the combined full handicaps)

Ladies – Red Tees, Men – yellow/tee of the day.

Prior to playing, the team decides which player (Player O) will take the second stroke on the odd-numbered holes. The other player (Player E) will then take the second stroke on the even-numbered holes. Both Players tee-off and the team then decide which of their two balls will be used for the remainder of that hole. If it is an even-numbered hole then Player E must play the next shot with that ball. Player O then plays the next shot with that ball and the team players alternate in this way until the ball is holed, or until it is picked up because the team cannot score any stableford points on a hole. Vice versa if it is an odd-numbered hole. “Penalty shots” and relief do not affect the order of play (e.g. if a player hits the chosen ball out of bounds then the player who would normally hit the ball next – it may be the player who hit it out of bounds, or it may be his/her partner, must play the next shot from where the original ball was played, under penalty of a stroke, (i.e. “stroke and distance”) even if it means that a lady golfer has to play from the men’s tee and vice versa. You should pick up if your team is unable to score any Stableford points. You must record the gross score for the team under “Score” column A for each hole and the Stableford score should be recorded in the “Points” column.
