The Chapman System (also called 'Pinehurst Foursomes' or 'American Foursomes') is a competition for teams of 2 players. It is frequently played with teams of couples. The format is named for Richard R. 'Dick' Chapman (1911 - 1978), the 1940 U. S.
When the Chapman System (a k a Pinehurst System) is the format for a tournament, it means that 2-person teams will be competing. Chapman is really a melding of several formats into one.
Greensome-chapman: In the Chapman System, both players on a side tee off, then they switch balls. Player A plays Player B's drive, and vice-versa. Each player hits his or her second shot.
