• In general, players alternate shots on two separate golf balls with their playing partner
• Each player hits a tee shot on every hole
• After the tee shot, each golfer plays the second shot from their playing partners ball, thus alternating shots on each ball
• The alternating of shots continues until each ball is in the hole
• Can be played as stroke play or match play

• Players per Team: 2 from the same team

• Standard alternate shot, this version reduces the number of shots each player hits by playing every other shot on just one ball
• In general, only one golf ball is played between the two players on the same team and they alternate shots
• Each team has one player hit a tee shot on every hole, alternating each hole
• The second player on the team then hits the second shot
