Scramble Rules

End of Month 2-PersonTeam Scramble Rules

For the end of the month 2-person scrambles, handicaps will be used. The usual scramble rules apply (one club length, no closer to the hole and not in a different terrain, etc.)  You do NOT have to use a drive from both players - one player can get hot and just carry the day if that's the way the chips fall.

Handicaps will be averaged and rounded DOWN (Note this is a change from my first communications.)  We should round DOWN due to the scramble format - we will have better scores to begin with.  So a 6 and a 7 playing together will be a 6.  A 4 playing with a 9 will average to a 6.  If a male-female team is playing defer to the men's par for each hole.  (At Needwood it will even out on the front nine, and on the back nine I think the ladies tees are still in front of the men by a good amount.)

What happens when one person doesn't show up?  In regular play we just do a 1 vs. 2.  But with scramble play we have a choice.  Whoever is the single (without a partner) can decide whether he/she wants to play a regular 1 vs. 2 or...they can still do a scramble and take two shots themselves (using the best one for each shot).

Please report your match results to your flight scorekeeper (Hanson for A flight and Roger for B.)  You will not have individual scores to report - just the match results.

This format is only for the last week of each month, and a reminder will be sent the week before.
