shotgun start

A “shotgun start” is a popular tournament format commonly used in golf and other timed competitions where all participants begin playing simultaneously but start from different holes. Instead of everyone teeing off from the first hole, each group starts at a designated hole, allowing the entire field to complete the round in roughly the same amount of time. This efficient approach is ideal for large events, charity tournaments, and outings where time management and course availability are key considerations.
