Fastball Fastball is a competition that combines traditional Foursomes and Ambrose (Scramble) Rules of Fastball Golf Played as a team of two The best player of the pair is deemed Player 1 Player 1 tee’s off the first hole and then Player 2 hits the ball, the team play alternate hit (foursomes) until the ball is on the green. Once on the green a second ball is introduced and both team members have a putt from the marked spot as if playing Ambrose until the ball is holed out. Next hole, Player 2 tees off and the process continues. Player 1 tees off all the odd numbered holes and the second player tees off the even numbered holes. The even numbered holes can have forward or easier tee placing. Scoring Fastball: Fastball has a special scoring system that enables golfers to compete without needing a handicap. Firstly, six holes (highlighted in yellow and red circles) are chosen randomly by the host club professional once players have commenced their game on the course. The score for the selected six holes are added up in relation to Par to calculate the Handicap of the player. Scorecard Example: The selected six holes score gave a total of 2 over. Then, the six holes score (which is 2 over) is multiplied by 3 which equals 6. So based on this Scorecard, 6 is this Handicap given for the entire 18 holes played. The Scorecard Handicap which is 6, is then deducted from the Gross Score of 77 to give a Nett Score of 71 Scorecard Example: Gross Score – Scorecard Handicap = Nett Score 77 – 6 = 71 Putts are recorded for all 18 holes. The total of the Putts are then divided by 2. Scorecard Example: 26 ÷ 2 = 13 The Fastball Score is the Nett Score plus half the number of putts. Scorecard Example: Nett Score + Half of the total Putts = Fastball Score 71 + 13 = 84 .
