Strategy Tips for Players

• Eliminates “wasted” shots: In normal fourball, a partner’s poor hole is irrelevant if the other scores par. Here, a very poor score can still be used offensively if the opponents both implode.
• Increases pressure on both players: Neither player can mentally “check out” on a hole, because their individual score could contribute to a double win.
• Faster than foursomes: Both play own ball (no alternate shot delays), but more engaging than standard fourball because every stroke counts for the team’s pair of scores.
• Handicap friendly: Typically played with full handicap allowance (often 90% of course handicap), making it fair for mixed-ability pairs.
