  • Golf Balls

MODIFIED SCRAMBLE RULES:

Tee & Approach Shots:

  • Individual and Team will play a scramble format: Four balls off the tee, the best shot is selected, and all balls are gathered and hit from that spot. Repeat until reaching the green.

On the Green:


Once your team selects a ball on the green as the desired position for your next shot:

  • All balls must be played from that exact spot.
  • Each ball must be holed—no gimmes.
  • Every stroke counts toward the total score.

Example:

Your team selects a ball that is 10 feet from the hole and you're now putting your 3rd shot.


First ball is holed → score: 3

Second ball misses, then taps in → score: 4

Third ball is holed → score: 3

Fourth ball misses, then taps in → score: 4


Team score for the hole = 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 = 14 strokes
