If it's your one round for the week then fair enough, I too would rather play 18 holes with my own ball.
But I love 4somes and see it as the ultimate test of team golf. Knowing that you don't get a chance to recover yourself from a poor shot and the pressure of having to pull off a shot despite not being in a "rythmn" just makes the challenge better.
I've never played foursomes but totally agree, if it's your only round for the week then I'd rather play my own ball but then again it might depend who I was partnered with. I'd play tomorrow given the chance,,,, beats sitting here doing nothing or playing a solo round because all my mates have 'proper jobs' and only play at weekends
I think I must be one of the few who like this format. Thoroughly enjoyed my 2 rounds of it at Gullane a couple of weeks ago. We were round in 3 hours both times so got 2 rounds in a day which is a blessing in the winter. And as for crap golf it didn't stop our opponents in the afternoon getting 4 birdies and an eagle. I guess it's where you put the ball, Chris.
That sounds great, 4 birdies and an eagle sounds more like Texas Scramble...that's pretty good going
