Each foursome competes as a team for the BEST SINGLE GROSS SCORE for the 18 holes.
1. Play begins with a shotgun start. Male golfers (under 60) use the white tees, male golfers 60 and over use the gold tees, and female golfers use the red tees. Each member of the foursome tees off.
2. If a group only has three members, they only get 3 shots. No additional shots will be given for the lack of the fourth player.
3. The group decides which is the most desirable drive. The other three players then pick up their ball and proceed to the location of the best drive where they each play the second shot.
4. On the fairways, place all balls within one club length (not closer to the hole) of the best ball selected for play. The best of the four second shots is selected where all players in the foursome’s third shots are played. This procedure is continues until the ball is holed out.
5. On the putting green, each member of the foursome must putt before anyone hits their second putt. When a putt is made, the remaining players do not putt.
6. Purchased mulligans (a maximum of 5 per person) cannot be used on the putting green.
7. At the end of each hole the score for the foursome is recorded on the scorecard.
8. In sand traps, each ball must be played from where the original ball landed. Rake the trap after each shot.
9. The order in which foursome players hit can be varied according to the strategy the team wishes to employ.
10. Foursome captains will turn in their scorecards upon completion of the round.
