Explanation of Hole Formats:
Holes 1-6 - Best Shot (typical doubles where you take the best shot as decided by the team)
Holes 7-12 - Alternate Shot. Your team chooses the order of players prior to the round starting. You alternate the order of throwing. Each team member can only drive from the tee twice for these 6 holes.
Holes 13-18 - Tough Shot. The opposite team choose which shot your team must take with one exception. As soon as one person 'holes out', then your team is finished with the hole.

Further explanation and examples.

Best shot. Easiest to understand. All 3 players tee off. Those players choose which shot they want to take. All 3 players throw again from that lie and then determine which shot is best. Continue this format until you hole out.

Alternate Shot. The team is Bob, Jim and Ralph and that's the order. Bob can only tee off for 2 holes. Jim can only tee off for 2 holes, same with Ralph. The tee shots have to be declared prior to the round starting.
Hole 7 - Bob tees off. Jim has to take the second shot. Ralph has to take the third shot if needed. If they still haven't holed out, Bob takes the fourth shot.
Hole 8 - The team pre-determiend that Ralph will tee off on 8. Since Bob is after Ralph, Bob throws the second shot and throws it in. Good job Bob.
Hole 9 - The team pre-determined that Bob was going to tee off of 9. Even though Bob threw in on 8, he tees off on 9 because that was pre-determined. Jim is next in the throwing order, than Ralph.
Hole 10 - Bob cannot tee off. Matter of fact, he can't tee off again until Hole 13 because he already drove 2x. The team pre-determined that Ralph will tee on 10. Bob has to throw second, then Jim, then Ralph if needed, etc.
Hole 11 & 12. Since Bob and Ralph have both drove from the tee 2x each, Jim has to drive on holes 12 & 13. Both cases Ralph is next, then Bob, etc.

Before starting the round, the team has to declare which holes Bob, Jim and Ralph will tee off from. It does not matter what the order to tee is, but after the teeing off, the order must follow the pre-determined 'batting order'.

Tough Shot. Opposite of best shot. All 3 players tee off. The opposite team(s) on the card choose which shot (i.e. worst shot) that the team is required to take. All 3 players throw again from that lie and the opposite teams again determine the worst shot. Where tough shot and worst shot differ is when you hole out. Example: in worst shot Bob throws in from 100' (or makes a 45' putt). Jim and Ralph would then need to also throw in from 100' (or make a 45' putt) otherwise the opposite team will choose the 'worst' shot that doesn't go in. In tough shot, once you hole out, you're done.
