Member-Member or Member-Guest ??

[Leftie_power]

Can someone please explain to me what a member-member or a member-guest is all about? I hear Americans talking about them all the time and was just wondering:

1.How they work?
2.How often do you have them?
3.Don't you have any individual tournaments?

Can someone please explain to me what a member-member or a member-guest is all about? I hear Americans talking about them all the time and was just wondering:

1. That depends.

2. That depends. 3. Most courses do, yes. To elaborate: 1. How do they work? This varies. My country club changes the format each time in the monthly ones - some times it's best three scores, sometimes it's scramble, sometimes it's best two + worst score, sometimes it's another format. Sometimes it's a two-man event instead of four... Prizes are awarded for low gross and net as well as skins (gross/net), usually, with a small calcutta and so on. 2. How often? My country club has a massive 4-day event in the middle of the summer, but it also has monthly, one-day, smaller member-guests. We have about 8 months of good golf weather, and courses in warmer climates may have bigger ones two or more times per year. 3. Individual Tournaments? Of course - stroke and match play club championships, local county events, etc.

At my course we have one member member and one member guest every year. The member-member is exactly that two members teamed together. At my course the format is a two day best ball (one score). The member-guest is when you get to invite a member from another course to be your partner in the tournament. The format at my course is one day best ball, one day two person scramble. They are a lot of fun and tend to be the two biggest tournaments of the year. The member-guest always brings a few people from out of state to play.

traditionally the member-guest tournament has more prestige and is usually combined with dinners, party, etc. and shitload of prizes. Most of the time it's a 3 - 4 days event starting thursday.
member-member usually is just another tournament - like club championship...
