Foursomes is highly unpopular with the modern golfer. The time restrictions the modern golfer has means when they play they want a full game, they see Foursomes has half a game.
Adrian,
Sadly, I do think that is conventional wisdom.
I find it incredibly ironic that "golf takes too long" is the most frequently cited reason for millenials and others reducing their play.
Another reason is often the "advantages" of team cameraderie in team sports draw kids away..
Here's a team event that takes way less time and fills courses with more bodies.
The perfect solution it would seem for players and operators.
especially for those who hate posting an individual score due to low skill.
Seems such a waste.
talked about it for 30 minutes on my radio show today.
