Rotation Out - The foursome(s) will have one player on each hole whose score does not count for the team game but does count for their handicap. In this way they are playing as a threesome for the team game. For example, Player A's score on holes 1,5,9,13 and 17 do not count for the team game. Player B's score on holes 2,6,10,14 and 18 do not count. Player C's score does not count on holes 3,7,11,15. Player D's scores do not count on holes 4,8,12 and 16.
