League Scramble - June 29

If you're looking for first half results, scroll down after you read this.

The 2nd Annual League Scramble and Cookout will be held next Tuesday night. Team tee times are posted up there in the corner.

I will be collecting $11 for the cookout as you come off the course Tuesday. I got payment from nine of you this week. If you will not be attending the cookout, please let me know so I can give Bill a head count. The $11 covers brats, burgers, potato salad, beans, chips, dessert, tax, and tip. It does not cover your beverages. Food will be served around 7:30/7:45.

For those of you unfamiliar with the "scramble" format, the rules are as follows:

1. Each foursome plays as a team and keeps one score for the team (including putts).
2. After each golfer tees off, the team picks one shot to play next, and each golfer hits from there. The three people whose shots won't be used should retrieve their balls and drop within a club-length of the ball chosen to be played, but if the ball you are playing is in the rough or a hazard you must play from that rough or hazard. You may improve your lie (winter rules).
3. Follow this same procedure until your team holes out.
4. When putting, the first person puts a mark down to identify where the others should putt from if the first person misses.
5. At least one tee shot from each golfer in the foursome must be used on one of the nine holes. You do not need to decide whose tee shot is to be used until after everybody has teed off on a hole, unless you are forced to use a specific golfer’s tee shot on holes 7, 8, or 9 because you have not used one of their tee shots yet.

There will be cash prizes for the top 3 foursomes. The tie breakers are as follows, in order of priority:

1. Most birdies
2. Least bogeys
3. Fewest putts
4. Fewest total strokes on the five par 4 holes

There will also be four "regular" holes prizes:

• Longest holed shot (putt or chip) on #3
• Longest drive in fairway on #4
• Closest to the pin (on the green) in 1 shot on #6
• Closest to the pin in 2 shots (on the green) on #7
