CHAPMAN FORMAT: Each partner plays from the teeing ground and plays the partner’s ball for the second shot. After the second shot, partners select their ball with which they wish to score and play that ball alternately to complete the hole. The third shot MUST be played by the partner that DID NOT play the selected ball for the second shot.
