• Groups of four players (4 ball Ambrose) work as a team
• Each player hits of the tee, the best shot is selected and the other players picks up his/her ball and places it, within one hand span, alongside the best ball. NB- If you're on the fairway, then the other ball can be placed within one hand span of the best ball.
• Each person the hits a second shot from the same spot. The best shot is again selected
• This continues until the ball is in the hole. NB- on the putting green, the best ball is marked and the other balls are played from this position (max 10 shots per hole).
• One score is thus recorded on each hole. This is a sum of the best shots used throughout the hole.
A minimum of 1 drive (ie tee shot) per player is required (put each persons initial next to each score)
• If your best ball is played from within a hazard then the other player's ball must be played from within that hazard.
• Your end score is adjusted using the handicaps of the players in your team. In 4 ball Ambrose, the handicap of the team is calculated by combining the handicaps of the 4 players and dividing by 16 to arrive at the team handicap. This is the subtracted from your Gross Score to arrive at the Net Score - but don't worry! This will be taken care of for you.
• Male players with an unofficial handicap will have a handicap of 18; 27 for ladies. If you have an official Golflink handicap higher than this you may use it.
• Hand your score card to the Corporate Day Coordinator following play.

Callaway System - Handicaps not needed!

The Callaway System is essentially a "one-day" handicapping system that’s based upon a player’s score for that day’s event. The Callaway Scoring System provides an opportunity for all players/teams, with a variety of playing abilities, to compete against each other using a fair and transparent system.

The Callaway System, allows a "handicap allowance" to be determined and then applied to each golfer's score. A player's allowance is determined after each round by deducting the scores of the worst individual holes during the first 16 holes, and up to a maximum of six ‘worst holes.’

When the Callaway System is in use, all competitors tee off and play stroke play, scoring in the normal fashion with one exception - double par is the maximum score on any given hole (i.e., on a par 4, 8 is the maximum score).

Following the round, gross scores are tallied. Based on each golfer's gross score (using the double par maximum), the prescribed number of ‘worst scores’ from their scorecard are tallied, then a second adjustment that may add or subtract additional strokes is applied.

The result is a total that is similar to a net score using real handicaps.
