A popular format in golf tournaments, a team-based competition where each player hits a tee shot on each hole. The team then selects the most favorable of these shots and all players hit their next shots from that location. This process is repeated until the ball is holed. For example, if four players comprise a team, all four tee off. The best drive is chosen, and all four players then hit their second shots from that spot. This continues until the ball is in the hole.
This format fosters camaraderie and is particularly well-suited for golfers of varying skill levels. The inherent structure allows less experienced players to contribute without feeling undue pressure, as the team can rely on the stronger shots of their teammates. Historically, it has been a common choice for charity events and corporate outings, providing a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while minimizing the impact of individual poor shots on the team’s overall score.
