TOURNAMENT RULES
Format: Captain's Choice (i.e Scramble)
- All players tee off at each hole. The “best” drive is then selected and marked by the team captain. All other players pick up their ball and play from within one club-length of the “best” ball marked, no closer to the hole. Each team must use each player's drive at least two times.
- The “best” second shot is selected and marked, and the procedure is repeated until the ball is holed.
- There are no "gimme" putts. All puts must be finished.
- If a team is missing a player, the team can play an extra shot on a rotating basis among team members.
- Preferred lies everywhere. However, the condition of the ball played must remain the same. The ball may be moved within one club length, no closer to the hole, and on the greens the ball must be played where it settles.
Rules of Play
- Men play from the Blue Tees, Women from the White Tees, Seniors 65+ from the Gold Tees.
- U.S.G.A. Rules govern all play.
