2005 ABCD Scramble Tournament Rules – Sunday, May 1, 2005

 

FORMAT:      4 Man Scramble, Computer selected teams with handicap (team handicap is based on combined total of 20% of A player handicap, 15% of B, 10% of C, and 5% of D).

 

TEES:              Flights A & B will tee off from the blue tees, Flights C & D will tee off from the white tees.

 

RULES:           USGA rules apply except as modified by WMGC.

                          * You may rake and place in bunkers in this scramble tournament format.

1. All four team members tee off from the blue tees.  Select the shot to be used and all four hit from the spot. This process is repeated until the ball is holed out. EACH PLAYER PLACES HIS BALL WITHIN 12 INCHES (NO CLOSER TO THE HOLE) THROUGH THE GREEN. Do not use the 12-inch placement to move out of rough, hazards, bunkers or to move a ball position from the fringe to the putting surface! THE BALL IS PLAYED AS IT LIES ON THE GREEN; you get relief from aeration holes.

WARNING: The hole is completed once a ball is holed out -- DON’T TAP IN PUTTS!

2. In case of no-shows, your team must have a minimum of three players to be eligible. The missing player’s shot is taken by the next higher handicapped team member (as well as his own): i.e. if the “C” player is missing, the “D” player hits twice each time. If the “D” player is missing, then “C” hits twice only on the even holes and no make up shots on odd holes.

3. Each player must provide three tee shots.  Mark your scorecard as to which player’s tee shot was used on each hole. Failure to do so is automatic disqualification. If you only have 3 players the tee shots will be as follows:  A player missing, B player required to contribute 6 tee shots, the others 3 each. B player missing, C player required to contribute 6 tee shots, the others 3 each. D player missing C player must contribute 5 (five) tee shots (since he will only get extra swings on the even holes), the others 3 each.

4.   Please use cart to shag balls.

5. In the event of a snow, rain, darkness etc, tournament will revert to the last hole played by the entire field.
