Of all the tournaments that are played throughout the year, 18ers feel the “Orange Ball” game is the most fearsome. The format puts tremendous pressure on the player whose turn it is to play with the orange ball. The dubious honor is rotated every hole to another person in the foursome with the goal of keeping the ball in play. Some holes can be very tricky due to tight fairways, out of bounds, water hazards (penalty areas) and just because it’s golf. If a team loses their ball they are disqualified from the tournament, but this year, happily, every team returned their orange ball.
