Definition: Canadian Foursomes is a variation of regular foursomes (2-person teams, each playing one ball) in which both players on a team tee off, the best of the two tee balls is selected and that ball is then played alternate-shot until holed.
In regular foursomes, the 2-person team would play alternate shot for the full hole, i.e., only one tee ball would be hit.
Canadian Foursomes is essentially a 2-person scramble off the tee, then alternate-shot into the hole.
This format is more commonly known as Greensomes or Scotch Foursomes.
