WHAT IS AMBROSE GOLF? The Ambrose event is played in a team of four, where for each hole:

Each player in the team tees off
The team chooses the team’s best ball
All players hit their next shot from the location of the best ball
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the hole is completed
The hole score is the number of strokes of the “best ball”

In essence, it allows players of a wide range of abilities to enjoy a competition as the team only needs to count the best shot each time.
Local rules on the day

Virginia Golf Club will brief players with Rules and format at 7.50am.

EQUIPMENT HIREIf required, equipment can be hired or bought from the Golf Shop at Virginia Golf Club. To make enquiries or bookings please call the Golf Shop on 07 3267 6333 – Option 1
