Reply To: Final Round Grouping

[Jeffrey Topp]

I’ve played in some top amateur tournaments that do shotgun final rounds. The main reason is because they are a national event and get players from all over the country who would like to have a predictable final round tee time so they can schedule a flight home. It also helps the catering, award ceremony, etc.

Some players adapt okay, others struggle with it. I’m okay with it, but I understand it can be frustrating when they double up tees and make 5+ hour rounds.
