The Formats what you're playing, and when

Four-Ball

Saturday morning. Everyone plays their own ball and the better score of each pair counts on every hole. The lowest handicap of the four plays scratch and the other three get the difference, so the strokes belong to the player.

Foursomes

Saturday afternoon. One ball per side, played alternate shot, which means the strokes belong to the side rather than the man: each pair's handicaps are added and half the difference, rounded down, goes to the higher pair.

Pairs

Sunday. Singles match play, everyone out on the course at once, and the Cup is usually still live when they go. In 26 of the Cups where one side led after Saturday, that side went on to win 22 times.

Pairings for Saturday are on the front page, and once play starts you can follow it on the check-in page. The course is at Concord Hills.
