Definition: Modified Pinehurst is a competition format for 2-person teams. In Modified Pinehurst, both team members tee off. They select the one best drive, then play alternate shot into the cup. The golfer whose drive was not chosen hits the second shot.
In regular Pinehurst, the team members would switch balls after the drives, each play a second shot, and only then begin alternate shot.
