4-BALL
This is a four person team
game; two standard couples comprise a team.
Each player plays their own ball through the hole. One best net score from each partnership will
determine team score for each hole.
Partnerships are formed as follows:
Holes 1 thru 6: Couples are
partners.
Holes 7 thru 12: Opposite
couples are partners.
Holes 13 thru 18: Men are
partners and women are partners.
Record each player’s gross
and net score for each hole and circle the score(s) that count for team score
then enter total score for each hole on
“Gimme” putts are allowed for
players whose score on a hole will not count for team score.
Handicap: Full dots on scorecard.
Pairings process as follows:
1.
Pair standard couples
line by line and compute a COUPLE INDEX for each couple.
2.
Sort the list of
couples by COUPLE INDEX (low to high)
3.
Equally divide
the list into flights of no more than sixteen couples for each flight. Example: With a field of 64 couples, the lowest
16 COUPLE INDEXs on the list make up Flight 1, the second lowest 16 COUPLE
INDEXs make up Flight 2, etc.
4.
Form the teams in
each flight by pairing the highest COUPLE INDEX with the lowest COUPLE INDEX,
second highest with second lowest, etc.
