Played in a tournament with this format?

4 man teams

1-6 holes Alternate shot, Everyone hits a tee shot. if you use the A players drive he would hit the 5th stroke if needed.

7- 12 holes best ball chose one drive then everyone plays it in.

13-18 holes captains choice.

This is the first time I had ever seen this done or played in something like this.

We came in with a 73 because we were 5 over on the alternate shot, our D player was a 35 handicap. He hurt us bad in that format. If I would have known this was how the tourney was going to be run I would have found a true A player instead of me. But it was fun and for a good cause.
Habitat for Humanity. If you ever get the chance to play in one of there tourney's play in it. It was my second time and they are always well run and they give away great prizes.

played that format many times,the trick is to find the best spot for your D player to hit. Also have play in best ball where you had to use three holes scores from each player minimum. Tough to throw out a birdie or par to use the D players bogie score, hope he gets three pars and use those holes.

Tiger Woods quote

That's a funny quote tater, but just can't seem to picture that coming out of Tiger's mouth.

    • Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.
    • Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
