Canadian Foursomes or are American Foursomes Better?
March 10, 2008
My buddies and I would like to hear what a Canadian Foursome is. We are all very interested in knowing, thanks Golf Virgin. - Harry in Andover, MN
I bet you are and I can promise you above anything that a Canadian Foursome is not a group of crazy canucks sitting around a bonfire in BF E telling stories about bacon. A Canadian Foursome is variation of regular foursomes and is also known as Greensomes.
Here’s a bonus for all you Golf Virgin readers out there. An American Foursome is similar in where two players tee off and then switch each others balls.
Player A plays Player B’s shot, and vice versa and from there each player will hit their second shot. After each shot is hit, they will select the best of the second shots and play only one ball in an alternate shot fashion until the ball is holed.
Now, Canadian Foursomes are 2 person teams where each team plays one ball. This is basically when both players on a team tee off and the best of the two tee balls is selected and from there that ball is then played on an alternating basis until holed.
Also, during normal foursomes, the 2 person team would play on an alternating shot basis for the entire game with only one tee ball being used. Canadian Foursomes is essentially a 2 person scramble off the tee which is then played in an alternate shot fashion until the ball is holed.
See how unique and interesting golf as a sport really is? What other game can you play with your buddies balls and give it a name like Canadian Foursomes or American Foursomes or Greensomes…??
