I play in quite a few of these a year, and typically with the same group of guys. We've won some and we've lost some but usually we finish in the top 5 or so. I think it's important to let the guy who's typically the straightest off the tee to go first, to at least get a ball out there. It's also beneficial to let the guy who can't handle pressure to go first. You'll want your best iron player to go last out of the fairway, that way, hopefully there's a ball on the green and he can pin hunt. Always let your 2nd best putter go first for the putt. You want someone who can give the rest of the guys a good read to go first. Too many times, I see the worst putter go first and that does no one any good. If you can give a bad putter a specific spot to aim for, sometimes they might roll one in. I have one simple rule for my group in a Captains choice format and it's this: Always at least hit a fairway and always at least hit the green. You do that, you'll put in a good showing.

Great info TC. The greens are where we always seem to struggle. My groups never seeem to be able to make those 10-15 footers that are necisary to win the tournaments.
