It's GolfSixes Time Again!

I like to do posts approximately the GolfSixes occasion each year because it's an uncommon layout this is clearly amusing to watch.

This year's GolfSixes might be held at Oitavos Dunes Golf Club, that is a part of the Portuguese coastal lodge of Cascais. It's a -day occasion performed on Friday and Saturday, June 7-eight, the usage of a modified Greensomes fit play format for 6-hollow suits, for this reason the name. I did a post on the Greensomes layout a couple of years returned, and the more hyperlinks in that submit nevertheless work, so that's an excellent region to begin if you do not apprehend what that is all approximately.

At its simplest, every member of the two-participant teams hits a force. They select the pressure they prefer great, and it's alternate shot from there. The crew with the lowest rating wins the hole and goes one-up, much like another suit play occasion. Here's a link to the 5 things the ET wants you to realize about the event.

There are 16 two-player teams competing, in 4-team pool play, and one of the fun components of this event is that both male and female groups play against every different. (In fact, Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn and Solheim Cup captain Catriona Matthew competed as a crew ultimate 12 months.) You can learn about all of this yr's teams at this link.

The defending champions are Team Ireland are Paul Dunne and Gavin Moynihan, who're back to protect.
