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.

He said it..........I got it from a book of famous sports quotes.

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
