Men’s Texas Twosomes Team Competitions at Lorette Golf Course

The Early Bird Texas Twosomes: Designed for senior men (55+), this league allows for flexible scheduling and encourages competition in a twosome format, with matches played on a Wednesdays.

The Format
In the twosome leagues, you play a match against another team. The format is that both golfers tee off, and then you select your best drive. You both play from the selected best drive position and then select the best 2nd shot and so on until the ball is in the hole. You gain a point if you win the hole against the other team, ½ a point if you tie the hole, and after nine holes, each team will have a point score for the match, which is your match score. There is also 1 point available for the best gross team score. In the top gun league, an under-par round usually is required to win the match.

The teams play against other teams in a round-robin format. The league matches are published before the start of the league. Participants are responsible for rescheduling the match if they cannot play their match. Once the league has been completed for the last month of the season, the league is split into playoffs based on league ranking, with the league windup held on the second to last weekend of September. On that day, a winner from each division will be crowned.

The Topgun Texas Twosomes: Open to all, focusing on lower handicap players without age restrictions. This competitive league plays on Tuesday evenings, adopting a best-shot format that challenges teams to perform under par to win.
