Reignwood Icons of Football is a Team Matchplay golf event. Played by two teams:
Team England vs Team World. Played over 10 holes of the Robinswood Golf Course in Bangkok. Each team has 12 Icons playing for them. And 1 non-playing captain.
The tournament is split into 4 sessions. In a session points are awarded to the winners of each match. These points will contribute to their Team’s overall points total.
The team with the most points after all 4 sessions are finished, will win the Tournament.
Session 1 - Fourballs
In this session, our Icons play in pairs against two Icons from the opposition team. Each Icon plays their own ball. Hence the name ‘fourballs’, as there are four balls in play on each hole. The player that takes the fewest shots on a hole wins a point in that match for their pair.
Sessions 2 & 3 - Alternate Shot with Select Drive
Also known as ‘greensomes’, our Icons again play in pairs against two Icons from the opposition team. However, in this format, each pair only use 1 golf ball between them - apart from off the tee, where they both hit a ball. They then choose which ball to play the rest of the hole with, taking alternate shots until the ball is in the hole.
Whichever pair takes the fewest shots on each hole wins that hole and scores a point towards their match total.
Session 4 - Singles
This is exactly as it sounds. One Icon from each team, will play an Icon from the opposing team, in matchplay golf. The same overall scoring principles apply as in the previous sessions.
