(depending on the conditions of play which are in vogue on the day), as near as possible to the selected ball, playing still in handicap order. Upon

Two players play as partners and use one ball. The players alternately strike off from the tee and thereafter strike the ball alternately during the
play at each hole. Scoring is done as for a stroke round with the deduction of half the players combined handicap from the total. If either player
incurs a penalty stroke it does not alter the rotation of play.
CANADIAN FOURSOMES
Two competitors play as partners. Each player plays 1 stroke from the tee with their own ball before choosing the ball to continue play. Each
player then plays alternate strokes until the ball is holed out.
2 STROKE CANADIAN FOURSOMES
Two competitors play as partners. Each player plays 2 strokes with their own ball before choosing the ball to play. Each player then plays
alternative strokes until the ball is holed out.
AMERICAN FOURSOMES.
Two competitors play as partners. Each player plays their own ball from the tee. The next stroke is played with their partner’s ball before
choosing the ball to continue play. Then each player plays alternate strokes until the ball is holed out.
