Carlsbad — A Swingy, In-Your-Face Look at Upcoming Four-Ball Golf Events
Get ready — the partner golf scene is buzzing and the four-ball calendar is filling up fast. If you like golf with a teammate, a little trash talk, and shots that decide matches, this is the slice of the season you want to follow. Partner golf started in old Scottish club matches but today’s four-ball championships are loud, proud, and all about clutch plays and chemistry.
What four-ball is all about
Four-ball puts two-player teams on the same hole, each player playing their own ball. The lower score on the hole from the pair counts. That simple rule turns the game into a mini chess match of risk, safety, and timing. The format rewards teamwork, trust, and the kind of clutch shot-making that makes crowds go wild. Expect dramatic birdie runs, heroic chip-ins, and more than a little strategic hand-holding.
Why these events matter
Four-ball tournaments highlight partnership dynamics in a way singles events can’t. Players lean on each other strategically, adjust their lines, and play the percentages together. That teamwork angle makes these events a favorite for players who enjoy camaraderie as much as competition.

Practical tips for competing teams

- Practice alternate-scenario drills: when to play aggressive vs when to lay up depends on the hole and the partner’s game.
- Know the course setup early and agree on strategy beforehand to avoid split-second decisions that don’t match.
- Keep communication short and positive; in pressure moments, steady voices beat panicked ones.
