SdM 4^th Annual Foursomes Matchplay Knockout

Winners 2017/18 – Warren Tennant & Eileen Groves

Note that Kevin Bell has taken over the role of Knockouts Organiser.

The closing date for entries is midnight on Wednesday 26^th September and the draw will take place at the club on Saturday 29^th September.

Foursomes is a golf competition format in which a team is comprised of two golfers, and those two golfers alternate hitting the same golf ball. Player A tees off, player B hits the second shot, player A hits the third shot, player B hits the fourth shot, and so on until the ball is holed. The two golfers on a side also alternate hitting tee shots so that the same player doesn't hit every drive therefore Player A will hit the tee shot on odd numbered holes and Player B will hit the tee shot on even numbered holes.

The SdM Foursomes Knockout is played under matchplay rules with the higher-handicapped side receiving shots equivalent to 50% of the difference in combined sloped course handicap with the lower handicapped side play off scratch – half shots are rounded up i.e. a difference of 5.5 means 6 shots. The competition is to be played off the white tees for men and red tees for ladies.

Please sign up as a pair. Pairs can consist of two men, two ladies or one man and one lady. The SdM Foursomes Knockout is not a “Board Competition” and therefore the qualifying restrictions do not apply meaning that any SdM member with an active handicap can enter. If you would like to play in this pairs competition but do not have a partner please let me know and I will try to help out.
