Tournament Rules

Format

• The tournament is a four-person team scramble.

• Two golf carts per team will be provided.

Field / Tee Order

• Each tee will have two four-player teams, designated Team A and Team B.

• Team A tees off first. Team B must wait until Team A has cleared the fairway and is a safe distance from any tee shot.

• Slow play will be monitored throughout the course.

Play Rules

1. Tee Selection:

   • Men tee off from the white tees.

   • Women tee off from the red tees (women may choose to play from the white tees).

   • The tees chosen on the first hole must be used for all 18 holes.

2. Scramble Format:

   • All four players tee off. The team selects the best shot and marks that spot.

   • All players then play from the selected spot. This process continues until the ball is holed.

3. Ball Placement:

   • For selected shots, each player may place their ball within one club length, no closer to the hole (lateral movement only).

   • If the selected ball is in the rough, each player must play from the rough.

4. Scoring:

   • The team score for each hole is the number of strokes taken to hole the ball using the scramble format.

5. Mandatory Tee Shots:

   • Each player must contribute one tee shot during the round.

6. Putting Rules:

   • Mark the selected ball on the green. Each player attempts the putt from the same spot.

   • The first ball to go in counts for the team.

   • If no player makes the putt, mark the best remaining spot; all players putt from there.

   • No gimme putts.

7. Hazards and Out-of-Bounds:

   • Sand bunker: Players may rake after each shot.

   • Water: Drop under USGA rules; add one penalty stroke per player.

   • Out-of-bounds: Players must replay from the original spot; add stroke-and-distance penalty (2 strokes).

Team Scores / Competition

1. Live Scoring:

   • Team scores for each hole must be entered immediately into the Live Scoring Mobile App.

2. Maximum Score:

   • Double bogey is the maximum team score per hole. Teams reaching double bogey should pick up and proceed.

3. Winning Team:

   • The lowest 18-hole team score wins the tournament.

4. Tiebreaker:

   • In the event of a tie, scores are compared hole-by-hole in reverse order, starting from the 18th hole until a winner is determined.
