Women's Golf Competes Against Division I Hofstra

10/20/2023 4:15:00 PM

Hewlett, N.Y. - Earlier this week, the Adelphi University women's golf team competed in a dual match against neighboring Hofstra University, and fell 13-2 in a day with some scrambled scoring formats. 

Over the first six holes, the teams competed in what's known as a "Two-Player Scramble."

Two golfers from the Brown and Gold squared off with two other golfers from the Pride. Each team had both players tee off, and then both golfers would play the best ball for their respective teams. The first individual to make their putt counted towards the team score, and whoever won the most holes in the section scored a point.

The foursomes then played "Alternate Shot" holes. In this format, the same 2-on-2 matchup was established, and -- this time -- each partner would take turns, until the ball was holed.

After six holes, each team's score was totaled and assigned a point depending on if they won. 

The final six holes (13-18) were played with a format called "Four-Ball." This time, in the same 2-on-2 matchup, each golfer plays the hole regularly. Your side's score is determined by whichever team member had the better score on the hole. For example, if Golfer 1 gets a four on hole 14 and Golfer 2 gets a three, the team's score would be a three on hole 14. 

Jenna Masci earned 1.5 points for the 'Cats, winning alternate shot and tying for the two-player scramble in her match-up. Hannah Trinh and Jenny Kim tied in the two-player scramble, earning half a point. 

Head Coach Bill Bresnan and Adlephi wil be back in action next Sunday (Oct. 29), when they host University of New Haven in a dual meet at The Golf Club at Middle Bay in Oceanside.
