Foursomes, as the name suggests, is a game of golf that involves four players. Two teams of two who each play alternate shots. For many women, the thought of playing only one ball and relying on someone else to hit good shots, or worse that they are relying on you to do so, fills them with dread.
For this reason the format is quite often unpopular at clubs. That’s despite the fact that it is one of the most exciting golf formats to watch when televised. I absolutely loved the energy and enthusiasm between the pairings in the morning foursomes of the Solheim Cup, they were having so much fun, and when you relax and enjoy your golf you play better. Let’s face it, it’s the one time when we can play this otherwise solitary sport and genuinely feel like part of a team.
