Ryder Cup format tournaments

[Pope33]

Playing in my third one of the season this weekend. This one is a 9-9-9 tourney. Love them! And I seem to step up my play in them.

My favorite is the alternate shot holes......and true alternate shot, not this modified version.

Do you guys like them, and which part? Why?

Just played in one of these this weekend. We lost the Alternate shot by one on the 9th hole, we won 2&1 on the second 9 to push the match, and I won the singles match 2&1, should have been 5&4, but I had a little too much to drink and short putts became a bit harder to make lol. Overall I had a great time, I am already looking forward to playing again next year. The only thing I didnt like was that there were numerous teams with guys in handicap groups that had no reason for being there. My buddy played in the 17+ flight and the 2 guys he played against were easily single digit handicappers. Being that this was for fun/bragging rights between 8 teams (5 courses), I just thought it was a bit bush league.

Will be hosting one of these tourneys in early November.  It will be a two day 36 event, we will be playing 18 holes at my place vs the membership of another club and finish with 18 holes at the opposing club.  Looking forward to it and will let you know how it goes.
