Live and shared — everyone who opens this guide sees the same scoreboard update in real time.
Pairings aren’t set until Friday night — pick each player’s team once known, then tap a result.
A Tom Fazio gem opening for play in 1996 — a pure golf club with no other facilities, and one of the finest in Florida.
A quiet, low-profile Fazio routing that winds through pine flats, marsh, and lagoon along its namesake creek — Golf Digest has ranked it among the best courses in the state. The small, elevated greens don’t give much back, so straight driving and a sharp short game are the price of admission.
A 1923 Donald Ross gem.
Ross routed it along the bluffs of the St. Johns River, and a 1996 restoration by Bobby Weed brought back his original strategic bunkering and crowned greens. Bobby Jones was a regular here during WWII while stationed nearby, and the club has since hosted the U.S. Senior Amateur — a proper piece of golf history to open the week.
Four Ball, Match Play — play your own ball, hole by hole. Concessions allowed. 2 vs. 2, full handicaps (course handicap as shown on the card). Lowest net score per hole wins that hole for the twosome.
Points awarded per twosome, toward the overall 4-man team. No extra holes — an 18-hole tie is halved.

4-Man Captain’s Choice / Scramble. Play with your entire team — camaraderie is critical here. A minimum of 2 drives from each player must be used. No borrowing a teammate’s club. No handicaps.
Match play, with handicaps. Pairings aren’t set until Friday night’s session — this is the most important round of the tournament.
Four tee times of four foursomes, same shape as the other rounds — except the names start blank. An “A” player need not face another “A” player; that’s the beauty of handicaps.
1st place submits first, immediately after Friday’s round. Each of that captain’s four players lands in a different foursome — guaranteed no teammates, and zero say over who they face. Most disadvantaged by the order.
2nd place submits next, one player per tee time. This captain has some control: he may pit none, one, or two of his players against the 1st-place team (never more, to keep 3rd and 4th mathematically alive). Any player he keeps off a 1st-place matchup plays a mystery opponent from 3rd or 4th.
4th place fills in next — more than one of his players can share a foursome (different carts, of course). That flexibility is his edge over 3rd, though it can also open a matchup for 3rd to steer.
3rd place fills the final four spots.
