Modified Alternate Shot (Greensomes)

Greensomes — alternate shot with a forgiving start. BOTH partners tee off, the team picks the better drive, and from there they alternate shots into the hole (the player whose drive was NOT chosen hits the second shot). Lowest team total wins.

The scorer enters the shared team score once and it mirrors to both partners. Net play (default) uses the greensomes team handicap — roughly 60% of the lower partner's course handicap plus 40% of the higher — reflecting that the better drive is in play more often. Uncheck handicap strokes for gross.

Ties. Level for a paid place, the Commish's tie-break decides it. Split (the default) pools the tied places and shares them evenly. Push voids the tied places: nobody collects them, and their shares go back to everyone who put in — a tie across two paid places voids both. USGA card match compares the tied scores over the last 9, then the last 6, 3 and 1 holes. App coin toss (Low Net and the team formats) is flipped in the app by the Commish, the scorekeeper or a group admin, and records who won, so the result is the same on every screen and when payouts are finished; until it is flipped the place splits.
