RULES

A scramble means that all team members tee off on each hole and then decide which tee shot they like the best and mark the spot with a tee or ball marker.

The other team members pick up their balls and place them within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the marked spot. Each team member hits their next shot from the chosen spot of the prior shot.

This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts. The ball should be marked on the putting green also.

Putts need to be made within 3 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole). The first ball to go in the hole is counted for the team score. When putting, once any ball is holed out, no further strokes count. The team is cautioned not to make “tap” in outts until all team members have had the opportunity to attempt the team’s original putt.

Each player’s tee shot must be used at least three times during during the 18-hole competition.

Team handicap will be calculated in the following manner:

4 person teams combined handicaps are calculated as below to determine the team’s handicap for the day:

Eg: 24 + 20 + 7 + 5 = 56 / 8 = 7 (Team handicap is 7)

3 person teams combined handicaps are calculated as below to determine the team’s handicap of the day:

Eg: 20 + 7 + 5 = 32 / 3 =10.67 x 4 = 42.67 / 8 = 5.33 (Team handicap is 5)
