The 4-Man Over-70 Team, like the 8-Man Team, plays matches against senior golfers from other local clubs, there’s just a bit more seniority required to qualify. In this format, two 2-man teams from each squad face off in each competition. As with the 8-Man competitions, these are best ball, gross score matches.
Introduced in 2024 by the MPGA, the 4-Man competition caught on immediately. With teams playing two matches per month, the two teams with the best records in their division following regular season play enter a play-off match to determine the divisional champion. In the inaugural 2024 season, Braemar lost a tie-breaker with the University team to just miss out on a spot in the championship match.
Bob Peterson, who captains Braemar’s 4-Man Team, creates the line-ups for each match. If you’re over 70 and are interested in more information, reach out to Bob at the email above or by calling 952-843-3636.
