When Irish Eyes are Smiling Sunday, July 19

Teams of four are randomly drawn, you don't pick your group. Each team is built with one A, one B, one C, and one D player by handicap, so every team has a balanced spread of skill.

How it Works

• Every player plays their own ball on every hole, recording a net score (handicap strokes applied).
• The number of net scores that count toward the team total rotates on a three-hole cycle:
  • 1st hole of each cycle: the team's single best net ball counts
  • 2nd hole of each cycle: the two best net balls count
  • 3rd hole of each cycle: the three best net balls count
• The cycle then repeats every three holes for the full round.
• Maximum score by any player is NET double bogey

Which holes count how many balls

• 1 best ball: holes 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16
• 2 best balls: holes 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17
• 3 best balls: holes 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18

Scoring

• The team's score is the sum of all counting net balls across the round: 36 scores in total (6 holes counting one, 6 counting two, 6 counting three).
• Net par for the full counting set is 141. A team at even net par posts 141; teams are scored against that baseline.

Key Details

• This is a team event with randomly assigned partners, there are no pairing requests.
• Every player must complete and record all 18 holes so each net ball is available when needed.
