Scramble Rules and Tee Times

Cookout to follow (7:30-7:45ish). $12 covers food, tax, and tip. If you haven’t already, please pay Dave Wolfe before you tee off or when he comes off the course.

There will 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
Tee Times
4:52 McEvilly – Please take flags out for the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th holes. Thanks.
5:00 Moritz
5:07 Nelson
5:15 Kraus
5:22 Rieves
5:30 Molter
5:37 Warren
5:45 Weber
5:52 Wolfe
6:00 Miller - Please bring the flags in


Reminders:
  • You must count at least one tee shot from each member of your group. On your scorecard, note whose tee shot you use on each hole.
  • Count your putts on each hole, and note them on the scorecard.
  • Get some damn birdies!

Rules (for those unfamiliar with the scramble format):
  • Each foursome plays as a team and keeps one score for the team (including putts).
  • 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).
  • Follow this same procedure until your team holes out.
  • When putting, the first person puts a mark down to identify where the others should putt from if the first person misses.
  • 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.

I think the thumb wrestle-off should be the first tie breaker.
