One thing I dont believe this thread has mentioned, playing Foursomes really is a different experience.
If you accept that Golf is a mental game, "played between the ears", Foursomes is INTENSEly COMPETITIVE golf.
Maybe its jUst me but playing my own ball I can accept that somedays I just didn't bring my game.
That's unacceptable to me if someone else is being dragged down with me. In that situation I'm really motivated to try and try again.
And when the reverse is true and my partner is having a 'mare, how can I help? Well playing my best is helping and keeping upbeat...
In 4BBB most of the 'teamwork' happens on the greens. In Foursomes it starts with discussions that need to occur before the round and continues to the 19th.
Which reminds me there should be at least one Foursomes round at BUDA.
