SCOTCH FOURSOME 2025

Newnan Country Club ‘s Scotch Foursome kicks off Sunday, March 9th – Shotgun-4 PM. When playing Scotch Foursomes, think of it as scramble off the tee, then alternate shots into the hole. To add to the fun factor, each team is a boy/girl team. It works like this:

· Golfer A and Golfer B are a Scotch Foursomes team. On the first tee, both A and B hit drives.

· The team decides which ball to continue with. In many cases, the partners select the longest drive or the one that's in the best position.

· The two-person team plays the alternate shot format with one ball the rest of the way. The golfer whose drive was not chosen plays the second stroke. The partner plays the third stroke, and so on until they get the little white ball into the hole.

Why This Format Is Called Scotch Foursomes

It appears to be a nod to golf's roots in Scotland. When you see "Scotch" in the name of a golf format, it likely refers to "alternate shot." It's an indication that the format is entirely or partially alternate shot.

When is Scotch Foursome Played?

Scotch Foursome is scheduled to be played on every other Sunday at 4 PM with a few exceptions. Most play is 9-holes. The Championship is an 18-hole round. The dates are posted on the Pro-shop bulletin board and on the calendar on our website.
