  • What is the Tournament format?
    • Scramble: Each player in the group tees off on every hole.  The group determines which of the drives is the most advantageous to play the next shot from.  The other drives are retrieved and brought to the spot of the chosen drive.  All players in the group hit their second shot from the spot of the chosen drive.  Hit within one club length no nearer the hole.  If your shot to the green is used, you do not putt the first putt.  This pattern is used for all shots until one ball from the group has been holed out.  The group has one team score on each hole.  There is no individual scoring. 

      · Men will play from the white tees and ladies from the red tees.

      · Each person must use three drives during the 18 holes.

      · If your group only has three players, each player in the group will rotate the 4th player.  For example, player A will play the 4th ball on hole #1.  Player B will play the 4th ball on hole #2.  Player C will play the 4th ball on hole #3.  This pattern will rotate during the 18 holes. 

      · We have a full field, please keep up with the group ahead of you. 

      · Mulligans are available for purchase at registration: $10 for two (2).  Limit of two (2) per player.
