Tournament
Rules
A 4-man scramble is a golf format where teams of four players each hit a tee shot, and the best shot is selected. Subsequent shots are played from that spot until the hole is completed. This format emphasizes team play and strategy.
Prizes
Prizes will be awarded for various achievements, including the lowest team score, longest drive, and closest to the pin.
Weather Policy
In case of adverse weather conditions, the tournament committee reserves the right to shorten the event or determine the winners based on the number of holes completed by all teams.
Disputes
Any disputes or rules questions should be referred to the tournament committee for resolution.
Ties
In the event of a tie, a standard countback method will be used. The team with the best score on the tournament’s hardest-rated hole will be declared the winner. If a tie persists, this method will continue to the second hardest-rated hole, and so on.
Use of Mulligans
Each player is allowed to purchase up to two mulligans. A mulligan allows a player to replay any shot during the round. The decision to use a mulligan must be made before the next shot is played.
Maximum Score
To maintain the pace of play, a maximum score of double the par is set on each hole. Once a team has reached this limit, they may pick up their ball and proceed to the next hole.
Penalties & Bunkers
Standard golf penalties apply, but they do not carry over from shot to shot. For bunker shots, the ball must be placed within one club length not nearer the hole, maintaining the same condition; that is, it cannot be placed on the grass if the chosen shot is in the sand.
Hole Completion
Each hole is completed when any one of the team member’s balls is holed.
Order of Play
Teams may decide the order in which they will hit their shots. The same order does not have to be kept from shot to shot.
Ball Placement
The ball must be placed as near as possible to the spot where the chosen ball lay in a similar condition. On the fairway, the ball may be placed up to one club length no closer to the hole. In the rough, sand, or hazards, the ball must be dropped within one club length no closer to the hole without improving the condition.
Putting
When putting, the ball should be placed within one putter head length of the chosen ball, not nearer to the hole. The team selects the best putt and then all players putt from that spot. Once a ball is holed, the next hole is played.
Subsequent Shots
After the best tee shot is chosen, all team members will place their ball within one club length of the selected spot and play their second shot from there. This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts.
