Information about MATCH TYPES as played by Golf Ball Maniacs:
CHAPMAN FORMAT
Both golfers tee off, then play EACH OTHERS ball for the second shot.
Choose ONE of the second shots to play, pick up the other one.
Play alternate shot from second shot to the hole.
Whoever hit the chosen second shot, the OTHER guy plays the third shot.
Team score is team total minus total handicap.
A-player uses 60% of normal handicap.
B-player uses 40% of normal handicap.
EACH player gets a Sacagawea for a team birdie.
Closest-to-pins are INDIVIDUAL.
Scores from Chapman events are NOT posted to your handicap.
(Note: In 2007, we played a MODIFIED Chapman format that involved simply
each golfer playing his own ball to the hole from the better tee shot.)
