Social Golfers Problem - 3 foursomes playing 8 rounds?
150533
Here's the long way:\n\nAssign each golfer a letter:\nABCDEFGHIJKL\n\nAll the possibilities that start with Golfer A as the first person in the first foursome are:\n\nABCD EFGH IJKL\nACDE FGHI JKLB\nADEF GHIJ KLBC\nAEFG HIJK LBCD\nAFGH IJKL BCDE\nAGHI JKLB CDEF\nAHIJ KLBC DEFG\nAIJK LBCD EFGH\nAJKL BCDE FGHI\nAKLB CDEF GHIJ\nALBC DEFG HIJK\n\nAnd so on.  Just use that as a guide.

Match Play - Every time you win a hole you get 1 tie 0 lose -1  Now if you are 3 holes a head with 2 holes left to play you win. 3 up 2 to go

Scottish courses were only several greens with multiple approaches.\nSome had only three holes, played at three different approaches or pin settings.\nPlayers tried to make the courses more uniform in different areas and eventually came up with nine, as the most common.\nSome of the longer play holes were broken into two.\nThey played nine out, and sometimes were far from the starting point so they play nine back, approaching from the opposite direction. There was no conflict with other groups except when sharing greens.\nThey felt that playing eighteen instead of nine would also average out more evenly.\nSome say that the flask would last through nine holes, and more affluent players carried a spare, enabling them to plat nine holes back!

I carry 16 clubs in my bag on normal play. Driver, 3,4 (sometimes 5) woods, 2-9 pitching 52,56, 60 wedges and putter. I have difficulties taking two clubs off in competition as it is allowed only 14 clubs, but usually I sacrifice 4 wood and 60 degree. Sometimes depending on the course I play, I take also 1 iron in the bag, too but then I need to take out additional club which usually is 52 degree wedge. Hate who made the 14 club rules, in the beginning you allowed 18 clubs.\n\nDriver is when you want to hit very far. Sometimes, 3 wood is needed for the tee shot if the fairway is very narrow, and if it is really tiny, nobody would care if you tee off with iron. 3 wood is used also for hitting long approach from the fairway, and sometimes Tiger Woods use it for chipping shots, or putting from off the green. The rest of the irons are used for various distance depending from each person to person. Try yours in the driving range and you'll know your distance for each iron.\n\nIn the beginning, if you don't know it, use 5, 7 iron, pitching and putter. 5 for the longest distance, 7 for medium distance or about 130 yards, pitching for less than that and putter for the green. Wait another 6 months, I'll you more.

ok seeing as how you liked the last one....hmmm....well you can play quarters.  Make three shots in a row and make a rule like "no sliding the quarter" or "no saying drink, drank or drunk".  You can play "three man" with some dice everytime a three is rolled the "3 man" drinks, 7 = left, 11 = right, 5&1 = social...then make up a bunch in between.  You can play the "name game" you think of a famous person then the next person has to play off him/her.  Like I say George Clooney...next person has to start with the "C" from Clooney....Chris Farley....then "F"....Fred Flintstone...then because of the double "F" it reverses.  So the guy who says Chris Farley would have to go again real quick "Farrah Faucet" then it'd reverse again.  Then that guy would get stumped and have to drink.\n\nYou can play Kings if you're feeling extra dangerous.  Take all the face cards and the aces and put em all face down around a pitcher in the middle.  hehehe.  each person pulls a card (one at a time).  Oh and add the 9s too.  9 = ryhme.  That person starts a ryhem (can't spell) then each person goes around and has to keep it up.  10s are i dunno guy on left drinks...jacks guy on right drinks....queens every one drinks....King, the first three kings pour into the pitcher...as much as they want/have.  The last King has to drink it all without stopping.  Aces person who pulled has to drink.  That outta hold you over for a bit.

Hello shorty\n\n32 for 9 holes and 67 for 18 on a par 70. Even par is a great round on any golf course, you did good.\n\nMost folks dont realise how good an even par round is, but I do.\n\nPlay well and I wish for a -5 round for you soon.\n\nLeon

Depending on the golf course there is an average time for each group to play a shot.  Our course the tee times are every 7 and 8 mintues.  00 07 15 22 30 37 45 52

A round of golf is 18 holes 9 out and 9 back, however in the case of matchplay it is possible to only play 10 holes and have completed the match and therefor the round

C is at the end, so its just the other 8 positions to play with.\n\nCount how many permutations of those 8 there are.\n\nThen count how many there are where A and B stand side by side.\n\nThen subtract those out.\n\nEdit:  Poster below me is way off.  without any restrictions, 9 men could be arranged in over 360000 ways.   Not 81.\n\nBasically, you can take 'C' out of it.  There are 8 spots left, and 8 men.  Spot 1 can hold any of the 8.  spot 2 any of the remaining 7 and so on, giving 8X7X6X5X4X3X2 which is 8! possibilities.\n\nThat's 40320.\n\nOf those 40320, some involve A and B being side by side.  How many?  Well, they could be in slot 1&2, 2& 3 .... up to 7&8.  And they could be A-B or B-A.  That's 14 possibles.  For each of those 14, the other 6 spots could be filled 6! ways.\n\nSo there are 14 X 6! = 14 X 720 = 10800 combos with C in the 9 spot and A & B side by side.\n\nTherefor, of the 40320 with C in the 9 spot, 40320-10800 = 30240 possible arrangements have C at the end, but A and B NOT side by side.

It is because they want to have a better score. I have seen some golfers that they have unlimited mulligans in a game but for me I will have about 2 mulligans in a game so DON'T CHEAT TOO MUCH.\nHAPPY GOLFING!

From your question I am not totally clear on what you need, but a classic 6 round tounement will start with 64 teams or players.\n\nrd 1 - 64 teams\nrd 2 - 32 teams\nrd 3 - 16 teams\nrd 4 -  8 teams (quarters)\nrd 5 - 4 teams (semis)\nrd 6 - 2 teams (finals) \n\nIf you have only 57 teams in your golf tourney, then I would Rank and list all the paired teams from 1 to 57 (or blind draw into spots 1 to 57). Then make up 7 teams to bring the first round up to 64 teams. Number them from 58 - 64 and call them Byes. \n\nThen in Round 1:\nTeam 1 plays team 64 (bye), team 2 plays team 63 (bye) and so on until Team 32 plays Team 33.\n\nRound 2: You have a standard 32 teams left. Team 1 plays winner of Team 32 vs 33, Team 2 plays winner of team 31 vs team 34 and so on...

You're right. If you're super good and hit 18 hole in one, that's the only 18 shots you'll get to play!!!?!??

We play $3, $1 for front side, $1 for back side and $1 for over all score.  individual holes dont matter.

I'm the one that has been posting the one shot per hole theory.  Now that others use it, I tell the turth.  They only had enough land and space for 18 holes
