Alternate Shot

A form of golf wherein teams of two play against each other and teammates take turns hitting the same ball. Alternate shot is best suited to four players (golfsmith.com).

The players on a team alternate hitting the ball so that one player tees off, the other player takes the next shot, the first player takes the next shot and so on until they complete the hole. When they start the next hole, the players alternate who tees off, regardless of who sunk the shot on the last hole, so that each gets a chance to tee off at every other hole. Scoring can be match play or stroke play (Kelley, about.com).
