Three man best ball is a game for only those situations where you have two high handicappers grouped with a good player. Everyone plays their own ball, and the higher handicappers take their best ball against the better player.
As a low two digit handicapper, I’ve enjoyed this game from both perspectives. The single player really needs to step up his game to compete against the other two. The higher handicappers, on the other hand, can enjoy not being overmatched as individuals by the better player. A wayward shot or poor putt isn’t the end of the world.
The main caveat to this is that there should be a pretty clear difference in skill levels. I’ve played in a team of mid handicappers against a low single digit player, and as a mid handicapper against guys who generally struggle to break 100. A difference of just a couple of points won’t create an enjoyable afternoon.
