    Hi All,

    recently someone in our club had a brainwave, great idea! and the comp committee decided to play a 'new' format (well at least new to our competitions committee who couldn't figure out how to run it) fourball aggregate.
    I've Googled 'golf competition formats' and it's mostly U.S. based rules and formats.
    Anyone know of U.K & Ireland (E.U) golfing formats? Or has your club played a novel or unusual format that's worthy of competitive golf?

    that fourball aggregate looks interesting, seems to be no room for error in it. My old club once tried to into introduce a few different competition formats on the calendar unfortunately the first one was a 4 man mexican scramble comp which went down as well as a lead balloon. After that the rest were scrapped by comp committee back to the usual ones. I reckon it could have been good except they choose such an unpopular one first:D One of the unusual formats to be played was a flag competitiion which looked great. I forget the exact format they were going to use for it as it was a few years ago but this is google of it.

    Flag Competitions

    A player or side is allocated a set number of shots based on the total of their handicap and par for the course. For example, a player on a handicap of 14 would have 85 shots if the par for the course is 71.
    The object of the game is to play every shot until you run out of shots. The winner is the player who gets the furthest around the course or furthest past the first tee if they have shots left after 18 holes. A flag is generally used as a marker to designate the finishing point

    Hi,
    Is 4ball aggerate where you combine the scores on each hole, we play this among 4 of us usually match play and it is a great format keeps you trying for that 1 point where in regular 4 ball if your partner is looking good you usually pick up if you have a putt for 1 point.

    Better again is a "Mulinahone Fourball". This where you multiply your points by your partners at each hole. A blank by either is really expensive.
