How it works

  1. Split into teams in pairings.

  2. Everyone plays their own ball.

  3. The lowest score on the team counts for the hole.

  4. Lowest team total to par wins.

Scoring

  • Scored gross. One ball counts per team per hole.
  • Teams come straight from your pairings.
  • Add it when you create the round, next to your other games.

Example

Best ball example
Hole1234

Sam · A4435
Dale · A5534
Marcus · B5625
Tommy · B4546
Team scoresA 4 · B 4A 4 · B 5A 3 · B 2A 4 · B 5

Each team counts only its lowest score. Marcus's birdie on the 3rd carries team B, but Dale's par on the 4th wins it back. Team A finishes 1 under, team B at even.
