Why a fourball walk is one of golf’s greatest pleasures
Promotional Feature
Golf is always better together. A fourball means more laughs, more encouragement and, best of all, four hours walking the fairways with friends while enjoying everything the game offers.
Is there anything better than strolling the fairways with three other companions as part of a fourball?
There are endless possibilities when it comes to which format you adopt, too. You can play a better-ball match, you can play skins. There are so many options as to how you’re going to spend the next four hours, and more people means more fun.
Walking side by side down the fairway in a group of four is a fantastic feeling, and one to be relished at any time of the year. A game in the summer or winter is always made better when you can find more players to step on the tee with you.
This sport allows you to play in a group of up to four, so why not? Spread the enjoyment and reach out to that extra partner if someone else can’t make it. You won’t regret it and neither will they.
Whether you are heading out on a summer’s evening or a wet winter morning, there is something special and memorable about teeing it up with three other companions.
It's all about community
You’re all in it together. You look for balls together, you shout ‘fore’ together and you march to the next tee together. There’s those extra few seconds to think about your shot, your next club choice, and your next putt.
A slightly skewed shot is met with one extra chuckle, and one extra ‘bad luck’. A larger group tends to reduce the tension and the nerves, knowing that three others are trying to do the same as you: get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible.
You can celebrate each other’s golf and, on occasion, ride off a wave of encouragement. Have your playing partners put their ball close to the hole? Now it’s time for you to step up and throw a dart of your own.
It’s an incredibly common form of the game at club level, and this speaks to the growing popularity of the game. More and more people are participating, so more and more slots are being taken up on tee sheets.
Fourball golf allows as many players as possible to experience the joys of a sport that takes you on a six-mile walk through nature and wildlife. It might include a few shots in there, some good and some bad, but golf is joyful because it is played outdoors.
A bad round or a few bad shots are put behind you much easier when you’re having a wander with three other players.
