                                   Four Man Scramble - Handicapped

 

Teams: Four Man teams. Sponsors should play with new members they are sponsoring. You may request teammates. 
 
Flights: Across flights.  
 

Team Handicap:  25%/20%/15%/10% from lowest to highest handicap. Take 25% of the A player's course handicap, 20% of the B player's, 15% of the C player's and 10% of the D player's, and add them together. That's the team scramble handicap. Three player teams 30%/25%/15% from lowest to highest. Teams must have at least 3 players to post a score.
 
Format: All players tee off on all holes.  Select the best drive, then all four players hit from that spot.  Select the next best shot, then all players hit from that spot.  Play continues in this fashion until the team holes out.    Mark the spot you are playing from before lifting ball.  Ball may be lifted, cleaned and placed from anywhere on the course.  From everywhere but the green, all players must place their ball within one club length from the mark, no closer to the hole.  If the selected ball is in the rough, all players must hit from the rough.  If the selected ball is in a hazard, all players must hit from the hazard, or take relief as appropriate. 
     On the green, all players must place their ball within 6 inches of the mark, no closer to the hole.  Once the team has holed out, they have completed that hole.  Do not tap in if there are players that still need to putt!  
     All Four Man teams must use every player’s drive at least four times.  Teams that do not use every player’s drive four times will be disqualified from the tournament.  Think ahead, it may be better to take a drive that is not as good as another if you need a drive from that player. 
     If an uneven number of players sign up, one or more teams will have only three players. Teams must have at least three players to compete.  On a team with only three players, each player may hit a second shot on a rotating basis thereby acting as the fourth player.  For example, on the first hole player A hits two drives, two approach shots, and two putts. On the second hole player B hits two drives, two approach shots, two putts, and so on. On the third hole player C gets two shots at everything. On the fourth hole it goes back to player A again and continues rotating in that manner. You may not change the order once it is established. Three Man teams must use every player’s drive six times.
 
Scorecard: The captain should pick up the pre-printed official scorecard in the pro shop, if available, otherwise he should prepare your group’s own official scorecard. Choose a member of your group to act as the marker for the group. That person must be an SLMGA member. Mark each hole indicating whose drive was selected.  There must be at least four marks for each player’s name, or six marks in case the team is a threesome, failure to do so will result in disqualification.   Write the team’s score for each hole on the Team Score line of the scorecard.

1-2-3  Best Ball

 

 

Teams:         Four Man teams. You may request teammates however the committee may deny that request if the four players don’t fall across flights in an equitable manner. Teams with less than four players will be assigned a blind by the committee

 

Flights:        Across flights.

 

Handicap:    85% allowance, applied by hole.

 

Signup:        Signup online during the registration period. Indicate the names of your requested teammates in the notes.

 

Tee time:     Tee times and captains will be assigned by the committee. All players will be notified via email. Any member that changes his tee time (pairing) without the permission of the Tournament Committee will be disqualified from the tournament. The only allowable reason for change will be if that player becomes a single and would have no marker.

 

Format:        All players play medal on each hole.  All players record every stroke until they hole out.  All players should hole out on every hole unless they are out of the hole.  The team score is counted as follows…

 

                     Holes # 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 – Count 1 lowest net score

                     Holes # 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 – Count 2 combined lowest net scores

                     Holes # 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 – Count 3 combined lowest net scores

 

                     If a player is out of the hole, they may pick up to speed up play.  In this case the marker will record the score the competitor was most likely to get or the maximum score of Net Double Bogey for that competitor on that hole, whichever is less.  The team may not use the score of a player who picked up.  At least one player on the team must hole out where only 1 score is required. At least two players must hole out on holes where 2 scores are required. At least three players must hole out on holes where 3 scores are required. Failure of the team to hole out as required will result in disqualification of the team from the tournament.

 

Scorecard:   The captain should pick up the pre-printed official scorecard in the pro shop, if available, otherwise he should prepare your group’s own official scorecard. Choose a member of your group to act as the marker for the group. That person must be an SLMGA member. Record team score on the “Best Ball” line as follows…

 

                     Holes # 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 – Record lowest net score

                     Holes # 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 – Total and record 2 lowest net scores

                     Holes # 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 – Total and record 3 lowest net scores

 

Conclusion: The marker should total the front, back and overall scores for each competitor in the group. For team events, the marker should also total the team’s score. If applicable, subtract each player’s handicap allowance from their gross score and record their net score.  Competitors are responsible for verifying their gross score on each hole but should also verify their totals. All competitors must sign the scorecard. The marker should sign a second time as marker and date the scorecard. Post your net score on the tournament sheet.  The marker is responsible for returning the official scorecard to the SLMGA box once it has been verified by all competitors.  All players adjusted gross scores using WHS Max Net Double Bogey Method will automatically be posted to the GHIN system at the completion of the Tournament. (DO NOT POST YOUR SCORE) 

 

Ties:             Ties will be decided by a match of cards as described in the tournament procedures.

 

Results:       Scores are not official until verified by the tournament committee. Results will be posted on the website and are deemed official once chits have been issued.

 

More Info:   See tournament procedures in the official membership book.  Refer to rule 31 (applies to all four players) in the USGA Rules of Golf.  Rule 31-4 applies except that each player’s score should be recorded on the scorecard.

Write the hole number the match was won on the scorecard and match sheet. For example, if you win your match on the 2nd hole of sudden death write “20” on the scorecard and match sheet.

Qualifier:  This tournament is open only to non-qualifiers in the President’s Cup.

 

Signup:  You may register for this event only if you did not qualify for the President’s Cup.

Format: Four ball match play.  The game is played by holes.  The hole is won by the team whose best ball is the fewest net strokes.  If the hole is “halved”, then neither team gets credit for the hole.

A player may concede his opponent’s next stroke at any time provided the opponent’s ball is at rest. The opponent is considered to have holed out with his next stroke and the ball may be removed by either side.  A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole. A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match.  A concession may not be declined or withdrawn.

This is a Nassau tournament.  The team that wins the most holes on the front side receives a point.  The team that wins the most holes on the back side receives a point.  The team that wins the most holes over the entire 18 holes wins a point.  If neither team wins the front, back or overall, both teams split that point.  The team with the most points at the end of the round wins the match.

If a player is “out of the hole”, or the hole is conceded, the player(s) may pick up to speed up play.  In this case the captain will record the score the player(s) was most likely to get or the maximum score of Net Double Bogey for them on that hole, whichever is less.  In order to win a hole, at least one player on the winning team must hole out or have a putt conceded.  Failure of at least one player to complete the hole will result in loss of hole.

 

Scorecard: The captain should pick up the pre-printed official scorecard in the pro shop, if available, otherwise he should prepare your group’s own official scorecard. Choose a member of your group to act as the marker for the group. That person must be an SLMGA member.
