3 ball waltz

[m1975]

Playing in this format tomorrow. Teams of 3.
Full handicap 1 to score on 1st, 2 on 2nd, all 3 on 3rd, then just one to scOre 4th, etc etc.
Anyone played this?
What would normally be good score?
Our all 3 to score holes are quite tough
Was thinking 2 , 4, 6 all the way would be pretty good

new format to me

Its a great team format played in it loads, I have organised one for next weekend. As for points winning it varies massively as we draw teams out randomly.

our seniors played this the other morning although they do it in blocks of 6 so 1st 6 only 1 counts, 2nd 6 2 count and final 6 all 3 count. Winning score I believe was 84 points on countback, which sounded pretty healthy to me

I played this format last week. Only over 16 holes and the winning score was 71 points.

Played it few times, very enjoyable format. Pressure comes in where all three have to score

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Never heard of it but sounds a good format. As others have said you need a couple of trusty partners when two and all three have to score

We've got a Cha-Cha-Cha in 3's and Yellow ball plus 1 coming up as well.

We've got this format tomorrow. Averaging 2pts per score gives 72 so I reckon anywhere up around 80 stands a chance.

What do I know!!

We were 5 better than 2's after the first set of 6 holes (1 score) and 12 better after the second set (2 scores)!
I thought if we could hang on to those on the holes where everybody's score counts we'd have a good chance, and when we were 15 'under par' after 17 I thought questions might be asked .

We stuffed the last up to finish with 84pts (-12) and came 3rd on countback, losing to the winners by 7 shots!

Blimey, I thought your score was cracking and should normally win by a mile. 91 points? That team must have had a good day!

New one to me - but sounds fun. Strikes me a lot of scope for putting a team together to fit the format - so would suggest it should be drawn.
