What are the Rules of Best Ball Golf? Let's Dive In!

Haha, yes! At the end of the day, it’s about having fun. But winning feels pretty good too, right? Let’s get those points!

Best ball golf is a great format for casual play! Each player in your team gets to contribute their best score for each hole. You can really strategize around team roles based on players’ strengths.

Absolutely! One of the unique types is the ‘four-ball’ league where two pairs compete. The format can really spice things up!

That’s interesting, Antoniosteele! I’ve played in a league that scores based on the lowest score from the team itself, which can change how you value each player.
