Royal Dornoch do a foursomes every year.

Most frustrating pointless game in golf. I detest it, find it extremely difficult to get into any sort of rhythm or stride. I can just about handle greensomes as you at least both get to drive and it feels as you play more and take part in the game.

Daily Mail Foursomes/Mail on Sunday

Each club holds a knockout competition and the winners represent the club.

I think he was thinking more a knock out comp, but could do that esp as he's a member at Dornoch, i know they do a mixed but not seen a FSM on there before

You might find a few more greensomes than foursomes. Certainly in our area it's more common. Like foursomes but everyone hits tee shots so that's why I think it's more popular for opens as it's more than half a game.

we won the Kings one, i was a RU at Nairn and he won at Dornoch, so was keen to try a national.. he seems to think foursome suits the lower handicaps where the greensomes is a bit more forgiving for the Higher... thats his theory anyway. GS too much buggering around TBH, one ball quicker... or should be;)

The greensomes are generally won by mixed teams as the advantages on certain tees with 1 set of indexes can make a mockery of the event. We would place in the mens section but not overall.

Horses for courses I guess, as foursomes is one of my favourites being a real challenge and test of patience, forgiveness and acceptance for each individual - and where you have to consider the strengths and weaknesses of your partner when it’s your turn to play. But not everyday - and would never want to have to play it the default playing format.

Foursomes golf - the worst game ever!
My experience is that playing a lot of scratch foursomes matches in the past has made me better at coping with the bad breaks I get and mistakes I make in all other formats. And I have found that there is great satisfaction when the two of you really meld successfully in a foursomes match - more so than 4BBB. Not such a fan of foursomes in other than a match format.
