U.S. Amateur Four-Ball
The U.S. Amateur Four-Ball is an amateur golf tournament conducted by the United States Golf Association (USGA). It was first played in 2015 and replaced the U.S. Amateur Public Links, an individual tournament that was played from 1922 to 2014.
The U.S. Amateur Four-Ball is played by "sides" of two golfers, each with handicap indexes of 5.4 or less. 128 sides compete in a 36-hole stroke play qualifier that determines the field of 32 sides for match play. Play is conducted using a four-ball format, where the lowest score by either player on each hole is the score for the side.[1]
The women's counterpart is the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball, also started in 2015.

gollark: ```Use of hate speech, racial slurs, threats, and any other language that could be considered harmful to a person or a group of people is not allowed. Discussion of such language, when it is clear that it is not being used for the intent of harm, is okay, but should be undertaken with caution.```This is clearly being used as an insult.
gollark: That's against the rules.
