29th September - Russell Trophy  Nett Canadian Foursome Format

Canadian Foursomes Play

Two golfers form a team. We'll call them Golfer A and Golfer B. This is how they play each hole in Canadian Foursomes:

• Both golfers on the team tee off.
• The resulting two drives are compared, and the better one selected. (This the "scramble" part of the format).
• The golfer whose drive was not selected picks up his own ball.
• Let's say Golfer A's drive was better, so Golfer B picks up his own ball, and then Golfer B plays the second stroke.
• From that point, it is alternate shot. Since Golfer B played the second stroke, Golfer A plays the third.
• They continue alternating strokes until the ball is holed.

And that is Canadian Foursomes: 2-player team, both hit drives and the better drive is selected, alternate shot from there. And remember that the golfer whose drive was not selected plays the second stroke.
