Team game. Each team gets a red ball at the start of the round. Each member of the team must play the red ball twice on the front nine and twice on the back nine.

If the red ball goes out-of-bound, that team is out of the game. If the red ball goes into water and can be retrieved, the team is still in the game. If the ball cannot be retrieved from the water, that team is out of the game.

Team game. Must use one low ball score of the team and one high ball score of the team on each hole. If someone birdies the hole, the team can use two low ball scores for that hole. Example: Mary has a 4 on a par 4. Sally has a 5, Nancy has a 5 and Susan has an 8. The team score is 12 (Mary’s 4 and Susan’s 8). On the next hole Mary has a birdie on a par 3. Sally has a 3, Nancy has a 4 and Susan has a 6. Because Mary got a birdie, the team can use two low scores; Mary’s 2 and Sally’s 3 for a team score of 5.
