I hope you will forgive what is perhaps, a basic question.
I've been invited by someone to pair up for a Fourball Better Ball Matchplay competition this summer. Handicap allowances are described as 90% Difference of Course Handicaps If mixed gender teams/match. Gents receive alignment stroke on Course A. Ladies will receive alignment stroke on Course B.
(We have two courses - and each round would be played on the fourball course for that day.)
Last year was my first as a club member, and I only played some singles comps, including matchplay where we used 100% of course handicap. It was easily learnt.
Can you explain to me how this would work? (If you were to treat it as though I know nothing, and started from the beginning explaining the format, the handicaps, then the alignment strokes please, you wouldn't be far off!)
