1 · Pat's team-5
2 · Jordan's team-4

How it works

  • All four players tee off and the team picks the best drive.
  • Everyone plays their next shot from that spot; repeat until the ball is holed.
  • One team score per hole: every teammate enters the same number.
  • The lowest team total wins. Places earn 8, 4 and 2 points to each player on the team.

Team Strokes

The team gets a share of each player’s Strokes, from the lowest to the highest: 25%, 20%, 15% and 10%. The shares are added and rounded once.

Ties and blow-ups

A tie goes to the better back holes on countback. Anything above net double bogey counts as net double bogey.

Play it in Baroo

Each group is a team by default. Any teammate can enter the team’s score; if two teammates enter different numbers, Baroo flags the hole instead of guessing.
