🤝Chapman (Multi Group)

How It Works

Also called Pinehurst. Both partners hit a tee shot, then play each other's ball for the second shot. They select the better of the two balls after the second shot and alternate from there until holed, recording one team score per hole.

Strategy

Choosing which ball to continue with after the second shot is the key decision — position and which player is in form matter more than raw distance. Track the alternate-shot sequence carefully.

Options & Variations

A League (multi-group) Team One Ball game. Team format: Partner (2-player, default 60% low + 40% high HC split) or Group (3-4 player, Player 1-4 HC split). The shared entry fee funds a sliding-scale purse to the top teams (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 (use the single-round Chapman game for one group instead).

Pro Tips

• Pick the ball that leaves your stronger player a comfortable next shot, not just the longest.
• Keep a written note of whose turn it is — alternate shot is easy to lose track of.
