GOLF COMPETITIONS -METHOD OF PLAY
Below is set out for the information of members the method of play adopted in relation to some of the less frequently played events.
AMBROSE
All players tee off in handicap order highest marker hitting off first. The best ball is then selected, and the other players place or drop their ball (depending on the conditions of play which are in vogue on the day), as near as possible to the selected ball, playing still in handicap order. Upon reaching the green the same basic procedure applies, the best ball is marked and the other players place their ball on this mark, then continue playing in handicap order. Each player may elect to hole out without marking the second putt.

MENS FOURSOMES AND MIXED FOURSOMES
Two players play as partners and use one ball. The players alternately strike off from the tee and thereafter strike the ball alternately during the play at each hole. Scoring is done as for a stroke round with the deduction of half the players combined handicap from the total. If either player incurs a penalty stroke it does not alter the rotation of play.
CANADIAN FOURSOMES
Two competitors play as partners. Each player plays 1 stroke from the tee with their own ball before choosing the ball to continue play. Each player then plays alternate strokes until the ball is holed out.
2 STROKE CANADIAN FOURSOMES
Two competitors play as partners. Each player plays 2 strokes with their own ball before choosing the ball to play. Each player then plays alternative strokes until the ball is holed out.
AMERICAN FOURSOMES.
Two competitors play as partners. Each player plays their own ball from the tee. The next stroke is played with their partner’s ball before choosing the ball to continue play. Then each player plays alternate strokes until the ball is holed out.
