Twosome
Common Phrases
Explained Simply
A group of just two players playing together. Twosomes typically play faster than foursomes.
Example
“You and a friend book a twosome on a weekday morning — you'll likely move quickly around the course.”
Why it matters
Twosomes may be paired with strangers by the course to make a foursome. Be prepared for that.
Common beginner mistake
Being surprised when the course pairs you with strangers. It's normal and fine.
