Welcome to the 2021 UW Employee Golf League. We all knew we would not be returning to normal too quickly, so this year we are playing at Odana as Glenway undergoes renovations.
One announcement - we will be doing hole prizes this year. My thanks to Mike Sanders and Dan Steinhoff who volunteered to manage the hole prizes with me missing so many Tuesday nights. They will also be collecting score cards and sending me the scores when I can't make it.
For new golfers, the first week is a scramble. Here are the scramble rules and other information.
Tee Times
4:40 Team Jokisch
4:50 Team Kraus
5:00 Team Rieves
5:10 Team Raymer
5:20 Team McEvilly
5:30 Team Downing
5:40 Team Hammen
5:50 Team Larson
Reminders:
· You must count at least one tee shot from each member of your group. On your scorecard, note who hit the tee shot you used on each hole.
· Count your putts on each hole, and note them on the scorecard.
Rules (for those unfamiliar with the scramble format):
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. One shot/ball per golfer - if you only have three golfers, only three shots.
5. When putting, the first person puts a mark down to identify where the others should putt from if the first person misses.
6. 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.
Tiebreakers
1. Most holes-in-one
2. Most eagles
3. Most birdies
4. Fewest putts
5. Higher average team handicap (those without handicaps will not be counted)
6. If still tied, prize money will be divided proportionally.
