At ours, we had the usual (?) team of four stableford event (best two scores count), but also something I'd not heard of before - which was the "Yellow ball competition. Each group given a yellow ball, and each hole, a different player has to use it and record the points scored with it. If ball is lost or put OOB, then that's it, you can't score any more in the "yellow ball". If ball lasts all 18 then (if four in team) each player will have played it 4 times, and two players will have played it once more each. Best score at out captains day was 39 - worst was 2 points - they lost it in a pond on their second hole.
