Scramble formats are probably the most enjoyable type of tournament play because only the best shots are played at each hole. All players tee off and from that drive, the best ball is selected. All players hit their next shots from that point and the best ball is again selected. The process is repeated until the ball is “holed out” with a 2-putt limit. In each foursome, they must select at least two drives from each player for the eighteen hole tournament.
Team handicaps will be calculated by taking 10% of the combined handicaps of players on your team. Course of play is assigned by I.U.P.A. and course officials.
