Creating a Team
You can participate as part of a two or four person team.
Each team should designate one person to act as Captain to organize and create a team. This can be done on the Linksfinity website or iPhone mobile app. Once the Captain has chosen a format and selected the team’s scoring and ranking preferences, he or she will be prompted to invite other players to join the team by sending an email invitation directly from the website or mobile app. The email invitation will contain a link to the website where teammates will be able to sign up as a member of Linksfinity and join the team.

We have not created a separate division for Mixed Gender team play for this release of Linksfinity. However, we are planning to create a separate Division for both Mixed Gender and Parent-Child team play with participants able to play from different tee boxes in a future release of Linksfinity.
Selecting a Format
There will be two team formats for this release of Linksfinity: Scramble and Best Ball.
In a Scramble, each player tees off on each hole. The team selects the best tee shot, and all players will play their next shot from there. This process is repeated until the ball is holed.
In Best Ball, each player plays his or her own ball on every hole, but the best individual score on each hole counts as the team score for the hole.
If there are other team formats you would like us to consider for a future release of Linksfinity, click on Feedback on the bottom of the website and let us know.
