I know there's traditionalists that won't like this, but its 2021...so please, can we just call it Best Ball and Alternate Shot already? Enough with the Foursomes and Fourball crap. Its too confusing to your novice fan who's excited for the Solheim and Ryder Cups. Oh and me too

@acaseofthegolf1 Assume you already know, but most exemptions are paid for by the recipient, either with cash or buying teams in the event's ProAm. Wealthy businessmen have a consortium of players who they do this for and then take a large cut of any winnings the player has. So yes, broken.
