Planning a Ryder-Cup Event. Best Way to Handle 3 Person Groups?

[cutchemist42]

Hey everyone,

Helping plan a golf trip for a bachelor party for next Summer. We are doing a 3day Ryder Cup event where each day has a slightly different formats of team matchplay. (Modified alternate shot, shamble, scramble)

Just looking for advice on best way to handle odd numbered groups for fair results. This will be slightly giggle-golf with 2 mulligans and lesser penalties for lost balls.

 

I know its early but someone already asked about odd numbered groups incase someone drops out or we dont get enough for 4-person groups. (Right now got about 18 people) Thought I would think of that now.

If its 2 people left out, we are just doing normal matchplay between them. ( might try to get the better golfers in the group to do this)

We are just trying to figure out the 3 person format with mulligans involved that would still be fun and fair. (The lone person would be someone comfortable with the situation)

-2 simultaneous matches of AvsB, A vs C while giving A extra mulligans?

-1 match of A vs B/C doing alternate shot? Give player A 2 tee shots to make up for it?

-Player A gets a ghost teammate with a default score?

-Some other kind of format?

 

 

Thanks for the input!!
