    When I have played this format, it has always been Selected Drive,
    then play alternate shots into the cup.

    I've always heard it called Scotch Ball not Scotch Foursome.
    
    Re: .4
    
    That is called something else which escapes me at the moment.

257.7MANY VARIATIONSSALEM::CORRIGANThu Apr 28 1988 11:328
    
    A Scotch foresome is one man one woman playing as one team. Man
    tees off on even holes,the woman tees of on odd holes [or visa-
    versa].Then its alternating shots to the hole.
    
    
    
    
257.8Try it, you'll like it !RANGLY::STEVENS_JIMWed May 04 1988 16:2121
    There is an explanation in the USGA's Handiap Rules booklet. There
    are several other tournament definitions included.
    
    In Augusta (Maine, that is) we play, as Kevin previously stated,
    a mixed Scotch Double Scotch. Men drive off the even numbered
    tees, women the odd numbered tees. They alternate each shot, playing
    only one ball. It makes for some interesting scores and shots. 
    
    We give trophies for:
    
    
    		Lowest Net - 1st,2nd,3rd
    		High Gross
    		Fewest Putts
    		Fewest Divorces
    
    Try it sometime...It's lots of fun !

    I've played that (ie both drive, both hit each others second shots,
    then alternate into the hole) and I've heard it called a Pinehurst.
