📖
How It Works
The name is the 1-2-3 counting pattern, which rotates by hole NUMBER (not par): on holes 1/4/7/… the single best member net counts, on 2/5/8/… the best two nets are summed, on 3/6/9/… the best three. The team with the lowest total across the field wins. Net uses standard USGA allocation (incl. a second stroke for course handicaps over 18).
📖
Why It Works
It balances individual brilliance on "best 1" holes with team depth on the "best 3" holes, where a weak third score hurts as much as a great first one helps.
⚙️
Options & Variations
A League (multi-group) team event game. Team format is GROUP only and each team needs at least 3 members (a full set is required to count the best 3). The shared entry fee funds a sliding-scale purse (ties split, optional rake/house cut); season order-of-merit points can be awarded by finish.
📖
Availability
Fully scorable inside a League event — configure it there under a season's event games. It can't run as a single casual round on its own (it needs the League's shared field and purse), so it always shows as League Only in the standard game picker.

Pro Tips
•"Best 1" holes are ace-or-die — only your best counts, so one player can bail out the group.
•On "best 3" holes make sure everyone has a plan — every score counts and a blowup hurts the team.
