Official Rules
-
Foursomes may not have more than 2 single-digit handicap players on one team
-
Foursomes must not have a combined Handicap of less than 40.
-
Shotgun Start at 10:00 AM.
-
Please arrive no later than 9:00 AM, as we’ll have to walk out to our holes
-
Four-Man Scramble is the format, with a couple of holes that will change things up a bit.
-
All Par 3s will be played best ball, meaning everyone plays their own ball for the entirety of the hole, and the team uses the best score.
-
All Putts must be made with a wood-shafted putter. Putters may be shared within a team. No modern putters to be in your bags.
-
Teams will be required to tee off with wood wood-headed club for four holes to be determined on the day of the tournament.
-
Team Limit on Mulligans is four, with a maximum of two being used for the team's first 9 holes played, and last 9 holes played. (These are team mulligans with all team members re-shooting the same shot when a mulligan is used.)
-
Every Team must use 2 tee shots for each player
-
Failure to abide by the dress code will result in a stroke penalty and require the entire team to shotgun a beer before teeing off.
-
The top 3 teams will play a one-hole playoff on the 9th hole, and the hole will be played alternate shot.
-
Ties for the playoff will be settled with a putt-off.
-
Respect the course: repair divots and ball markings.
-
Keep up the pace of play. If you play badly, do so quickly. It’s a scramble, bring plenty of golf balls so we don’t waste time looking for errant tee shots on neighboring fairways.
