Gruesomes

« Back to Glossary Index

Gruesomes:

Gruesomes (sometimes also called “Gruesome”) is a format of golf competition in which two teams, comprised of two players (partners) each, compete against each other. Both partners hit tee shots and (unlike Greensomes) their opponents select which ball they should play. The player whose ball was not selected, then plays the second stroke and they play alternate strokes for the rest of the hole as in Foursomes. Penalty strokes do not affect the order of play. This format is a variation of Greensomes and can be played as Match Play or Stroke Play.

Other name: Bloodsomes.
