Today we played it as a Stableford off 50% of combined. Felt most peculiar.
No problem really... just the first time I've played it as a Stableford. Does come across as a very 'soft' format.What is the problem, I play in county run foursomes every year that is a stableford competition

They are normally referred to as gruesomesStableford is the soft option of all stroke play, we play all our mixed comps as greensomes, now that is a cop out

How's it a cop-out, Louise? At a first glance looks like it shud work!Stableford is the soft option of all stroke play, we play all our mixed comps as greensomes, now that is a cop out

Ooooh...... AND.... presumably as Stableford?When I say cop out I mean that it is a lot easier to play than foursomes, One of our trophies actually has Foursomes engraved on it but is played as greensomes so that more pairs play in it.

Yes, I get how its a less threatening format with not having to get your drives in.
I've never played it but I think I'll consider having it as a Mid-week mixed 'Captain's Challenge'. In your experience (or anyone else for that matter who's looking at this thread) would the inclusion of all-male or all-female pairs spoil it in any way? Any other tips?
We switched our winter (originally 4BBB) and summer (originally foresomes) pairs knockout formats as we decided the shorter format made more sense to be played when there was less daylight, so fewer tee tines available. Nice warm weather was for a full golfing game.I hate foursomes.
It’s ok in nice warm weather but in cold climes you end up standing around playing half a game of golf.
Our club seems to think it’s a winter comp as they usually play this format in winter.
I avoid it .
