Venue
The hosting club, Sweden's third oldest golf club, was founded in 1909. Its links course, located on a headland peninsula at the south west tip of Sweden, was opened in 1934, initially designed by Robert Turnbull and later redesigned by Gunnar Bauer, Peter Nordwall and Peter Chamberlain.[1]
The course later came to host the 1986 PLM Open on the European Tour.
Format
All participating teams played two qualification rounds of stroke-play, counting the four best scores out of up to six players for each team. The four best teams formed flight A, the next four teams formed flight B, the next three teams formed flight C and the last three teams formed flight D.
The standings in each flight was determined by a round-robin system. All teams in the flight met each other and the team with most points for team matches in flight A won the tournament, using the scale, win=2 points, halved=1 point, lose=0 points. In each match between two nation teams, three foursome games and six single games were played.
