Van Clan - Red

Each player must wear one item of clothing with the colour of their team i.e. socks, cap, shirt, or anything! (Note: You may not wear any colours of the opposition team).
Team Format:
Team pairs will play matchplay against each other in their respective 4-ball’s based on Four-ball Aggregate Stableford Format, meaning both players must play their own ball and then you combine (Add) their Stableford points to determine the team's score for that hole, then apply Matchplay against the other pair (Highest score wins the hole, same score is a half).
Contributing Team Points at the End of the Round:
Team Win = 1
Half = 1/2
Team Lose = 0
The points for each Team will be added up and the Team with the most points wins.
If the result is a tie then the Captains will have a chip-off at the practice chipping green - one chip per captain.
