FOURSOMES CHAMPIONSHIPS

1. Play alternately from the teeing ground and alternately during the play of each hole. Example: If player A hits from the first tee, she will play from the 3^rd, 5^th and so on i.e. all the odd numbered tees. Player B would then hit from 2^nd, 4^th, and so on, i.e. all the even numbered tees for the first 18 holes. For the third nine holes, they may keep this order or decide to change.

2.Covid Rule: On each hole Player A hits off she uses her own ball. During that   hole Player A is the only player to handle the ball. e.g. they do the preferring for both players, they will drop when necessary and they will remove the ball from the hole. This will happen all odd holes. Player B will then use her ball on the even holes and will be the only one to handle the ball on those holes.

3. During the play of each hole, if any player plays when her partner should have played, that stroke and any following strokes are cancelled. The error must be corrected and a penalty of 2 strokes is added. If the error is not corrected before hitting from the next tee, the pair is disqualified.

4.Penalties. Add these to the score at the completion of each hole. Penalties do not affect the order of play. Example: If player A hits into a penalty area and they choose to drop out  for a penalty, player B hits the next stroke after  the ball is dropped.

5.If player A hits a wrong ball, that stroke and any following strokes are cancelled. Player A must play the correct ball and a penalty of 2 strokes is added. If not corrected before hitting from the next tee, the pair is disqualified.

6.If player A plays a ball from outside the teeing ground, that stroke is cancelled and Player A must play from within the teeing ground, with a penalty of two strokes added.

7. If A and B decide to play a provisional ball after A’s hit, then B hits the provisional ball. If the original ball is found, then B will play the next stroke. If the first ball is not found, then A will play the provisional ball.
