Reignwood Icons of Football is a Team Matchplay golf event. Played by two teams: Team England vs Team World.
In this session, our Icons play in pairs against two Icons from the opposition team. Each Icon plays their own ball. Hence the name ‘fourballs’, as there are four balls in play on each hole. The player that takes the fewest shots on a hole wins a point in that match for their pair, except on the 10th and final hole, which is worth 2 points.
Extra points can also be won on ‘Home & Away’ holes, where the away team can claim two points if they win that hole. Team England’s home hole is the 5th. Team World’s home hole is the 8th.
At the end of 10 holes, the points are added up, and the number of points the winning pair won the match by are added to their team’s overall total.
Also known as ‘greensomes’, our Icons again play in pairs against two Icons from the opposition team. However, in this format, each pair only uses one golf ball between them—except off the tee, where they both hit a ball. They then choose which ball to play the rest of the hole with, taking alternate shots until the ball is in the hole.
Whichever pair takes the fewest shots on each hole wins that hole and scores a point towards their match total, except on the 10th and final hole, which is worth 2 points.
Extra points can also be won on ‘Home & Away’ holes, where the away team can claim two points if they win that hole. Team England’s home hole is the 5th. Team World’s home hole is the 8th.
At the end of 10 holes, the points are added up, and the number of points the winning pair won the match by are added to their team’s overall total.
This is exactly as it sounds. One Icon from each team will play an Icon from the opposing team in matchplay golf.
**The same overall scoring principles apply as in the previous sessions.
Icons need to really watch out for water hazards (Crocs) and bunkers (Camels). We will be keeping a leaderboard of how many times players enter them. And the players that have the highest number of entries will incur penalty points for their team, to be added to the total after Session 3.
Only available once per session. Each team can ‘Call the captain’ to hit one shot for them – who just happen to be world class professional golfers Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia. Use them wisely!
