IN A SCRAMBLE
TOURNAMENT, EACH PLAYER ON A TEAM HITS A GOLF BALL OFF THE TEE.
THE PLAYERS THEN DECIDE WHICH ONE OF THEIR BALLS IS IN THE BEST
POSITION FOR THE NEXT SHOT AND ALL PLAYERS TAKE THEIR SECOND SHOT
FROM THAT POSITION. PLAY CONTINUES IN THIS FASHION FOR EACH SHOT
UNTIL THE BALL IS IN THE CUP. ONLY THE STROKES ACTUALLY USED
BY THE TEAM ARE RECORDED. THEREFORE, FOR EVERY SHOT, ONLY ONE IS
SCORED AND THREE ARE DISCARDED. EACH HOLE IS PLAYED IN THIS
SAME MANNER. IF A TEAM HAS LESS THAN FOUR MEMBERS, ONE PLAYER
CAN TAKE MORE THAN ONE SHOT SO THAT THE TEAM HAS A TOTAL OF FOUR
ATTEMPTS AT EACH SHOT
IN SHORT; EACH
TEAM GETS FOUR CHANCES AT EACH SHOT AND GETS TO CHOOSE THE BEST SHOT
EVERY TIME. INEVITABLY, A NON-GOLFER ON A TEAM WILL ALMOST
ALWAYS PROVIDE A "LUCKY SHOT" OR TWO THAT WILL BENEFIT THE TEAM'S
OVERALL SCORE. (HACKS LIKE MYSELF ONLY PLAY THE GAME FOR THOSE
ONE OR TWO GOOD SHOTS!)
IN AN ATTEMPT TO
EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL, OUR TOURNAMENT HAS A FEW UNIQUE
FEATURES THAT MAKE IT MORE ABOUT FUN THAN SKILL;
|
THE
FOLLOWING WILL BE FEATURED ON CERTAIN HOLES THROUGHOUT THE
COURSE. EACH OF THESE FEATURES COST $5.00 PER PLAYER
AND MAY BE USED ONLY ONCE BY EACH TEAM MEMBER ON THE
DESIGNATED HOLE.
|
|
BUY A KICK |
FROM THE CLOSEST BALL TO THE
GREEN. EACH PLAYER MAY KICK THE BALL ONTO THE GREEN.
PLAYERS THEN CONTINUE TO PUTT FROM THE BEST "KICK." IF THE
BALL IS KICKED INTO THE CUP, THE BALL IS IN AND THE HOLE IS
FINISHED. THE KICK IS NOT COUNTED AS A STROKE. IF YOUR
TEAM HAS A BALL ON THE GREEN, YOU CAN STILL KICK FROM THE
2ND CUT. |
|
BUY A STRING |
ONCE ON THE GREEN, PLAYERS
CHOOSE A STRING FROM A STAFF MEMBER WITHOUT KNOWING THE
LENGTH UNTIL IT IS CHOSEN. THE BALL CAN THEN BE MOVED
THE LENGTH OF THE STRING TOWARD THE CUP. IF THE STRING
REACHES THE CUP, THE BALL IS IN AND THE HOLE IS FINISHED.
THE TEAM IS NOT CHARGED A STROKE FOR THE USE OF THE STRING. |
|
ROLL THE DICE |
THIS WORKS LIKE THE OTHER
FEATURES. EACH PLAYER MAY ROLL THE DICE AND MOVE THE BALL
THAT DISTANCE IN FEET. IF THE RESULT
REACHES THE CUP, THE BALL IS IN AND THE HOLE IS FINISHED. NO
STROKE IS CHARGED FOR THE ROLL. |
|
OUR
TOURNAMENT WILL ALSO AWARD PRIZES ON VARIOUS HOLES FOR;
LONGEST DRIVE, STRAIGHTEST DRIVE, CLOSEST TO THE PIN, AS
WELL AS A SPECIAL HOLE IN ONE PRIZE. |
