What is the difference between teams and pairings?
Teams are made up of the golfers whose scores are used to come up with a team score. Pairings are made up of the golfers that walk around the course and golf together. It may be clearer if I used the term foursomes instead of pairings but the pairings can have from 2 to 6 golfers. Members of a team do not have to golf together. Also, there could be two 2-man teams in one pairing.
