Four Man Scramble

 

 

Teams: Four Man teams. Sponsors should play with new members they are sponsoring. You may request teammates however the committee may deny that request if the four players don’t fall across flights in an equitable manner. 
 
Flights: Across flights.  
 
Handicap:  Scratch 
 
Signup: Signup online during the registration period. Indicate whether you can switch days and the name of anyone you wish to play with in a message to the tournament manager. Sponsors of new members are expected to play with those new members.  Indicate the names of new members you sponsored in the field. 
 
Tee time: Tee times and captains will be assigned by the committee. All players will be notified via email. 
 
Format: All players tee off on all holes.  Select the best drive, then all four players hit from that spot.  Select the next best shot, then all players hit from that spot.  Play continues in this fashion until the team holes out.    Mark the spot you are playing from before lifting ball.  Ball may be lifted, cleaned and placed from anywhere on the course.  From everywhere but the green, all players must place their ball within one club length from the mark, no closer to the hole.  If the selected ball is in the rough, all players must hit from the rough.  If the selected ball is in a hazard, all players must hit from the hazard, or take relief as appropriate. 
 
 On the green, all players must place their ball within 6 inches of the mark, no closer to the hole.  Once the team has holed out, they have completed that hole.  Do not tap in if there are players that still need to putt!  
 
 All Four Man teams must use every player’s drive at least four times.  Teams that do not use every player’s drive four times will be disqualified from the tournament.  Think ahead, it may be better to take a drive that is not as good as another if you need a drive from that player. 
 
 If an uneven number of players sign up, one or more teams will have only three players. Teams must have at least three players to compete.  On a team with only three players, each player may hit a second shot on a rotating basis thereby acting as the fourth player.  For example, on the first hole player A hits two drives, two approach shots, and two putts. On the second hole player B hits two drives, two approach shots, two putts, and so on. On the third hole player C gets two shots at everything. On the fourth hole it goes back to player A again and continues rotating in that manner. You may not change the order once it is established. Three Man teams must use every player’s drive six times.
 
Scorecard: The captain should pick up the pre-printed official scorecard in the pro shop, if available, otherwise he should prepare your group’s own official scorecard. Choose a member of your group to act as the marker for the group. That person must be an SLMGA member. Mark each hole indicating whose drive was selected.  There must be at least four marks for each player’s name, or six marks in case the team is a threesome, failure to do so will result in disqualification.   Write the team’s score for each hole on the Team Score line of the scorecard.

Teams:  Two Man teams.  Pick your own partner.  If you don’t have a partner, the tournament committee will try to find one for you but can’t guarantee that one can be found.

 

Flights:  Across flights.

 

Handicap:  90% allowance, applied by hole, off the low ball in the group.  For example, if your allowance is 6 strokes and you are playing in a group whose allowances are 8, 12 and 18, then you will not receive any strokes and the other players will receive 2, 6 and 12 respectively.

 

Qualifier:  This tournament is open only to non-qualifiers in the President’s Cup.

 

Signup:  You may register for this event only if you did not qualify for the President’s Cup.

Format: Four ball match play.  The game is played by holes.  The hole is won by the team whose best ball is the fewest net strokes.  If the hole is “halved”, then neither team gets credit for the hole.

A player may concede his opponent’s next stroke at any time provided the opponent’s ball is at rest. The opponent is considered to have holed out with his next stroke and the ball may be removed by either side.  A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole. A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match.  A concession may not be declined or withdrawn.

This is a Nassau tournament.  The team that wins the most holes on the front side receives a point.  The team that wins the most holes on the back side receives a point.  The team that wins the most holes over the entire 18 holes wins a point.  If neither team wins the front, back or overall, both teams split that point.  The team with the most points at the end of the round wins the match.

If a player is “out of the hole”, or the hole is conceded, the player(s) may pick up to speed up play.  In this case the captain will record the score the player(s) was most likely to get or the maximum score of Net Double Bogey for them on that hole, whichever is less.  In order to win a hole, at least one player on the winning team must hole out or have a putt conceded.  Failure of at least one player to complete the hole will result in loss of hole.

 

Scorecard: The captain should pick up the pre-printed official scorecard in the pro shop, if available, otherwise he should prepare your group’s own official scorecard. Choose a member of your group to act as the marker for the group. That person must be an SLMGA member.
