The inaugural GolfSixes takes place this weekend where 16 countries, each made up of two players, will battle it out over six hole matchplay for a €1,000,000 purse at the Centurion Club in Hertfordshire.
The players will walk out to pyrotechnics and music whilst the par 24 six hole course will circle around a central hub of other entertainment.
There will also be a 40 second shot clock in use.
The format
The format is greensomes where both team members will each hit a tee shot, choose the best one and then play alternate shot from there.

The final day will see quarter finals, the semi finals and final, plus a 3rd/4th place playoff.
