Any chance we could play the 24 hole layout for the team round instead of 7-24? Singles rounds are already heavily favored, 24 holes of team play balances that giving a little more value to the team score. It also gives new players course experience for their singles play, and is the layout from previous collegiate events at blue gill.
I also suggest the team round be played before singles. It is easier to play a blind course in the doubles format (more shots to play from as well as spotters), it will make the singles round play smoother and more competitively.
I agree. This slight change could give some balance for both formats.
I agree, this would help balance singles with doubles.
If we have say, we would also be in favor of playing doubles first - all 8 of us playing the course blind and it potentially being worse conditions for the first round
