Scrambles - Spring / Fall
Texas Scramble
Number
of Drives
- Each player must register four tee shots (four-man team).
- On a three-man team, each player must register 5 tee-shots.
Shooting location
- After everyone shoots, the team selects their preferred ball and then
- everyone shoots the next shot from its position (repeat until holed-out).
- (Everyone tees off, the team selects one drive and then everyone hits a second shot from that position (repeat until holed-out). Balls may be placed (not dropped).
Ball
Position
- Off the green all balls must be placed within one club-length of the position where the initial ball came to rest – no closer to the hole.
- On the green the balls must be placed where the selected shot came to rest.
- All shots must stay on the same surface type as that of the selected ball.
- (If the ball position is in the rough, then the club length cannot be used to move onto the fairway and a ball on the fringe cannot be moved to the putting surface.)
Putting-out
- To facilitate pace-of-play, a player may ‘tap-in’ to secure a score for the team.
- If a player misses a tap-in then he is not permitted to participate in any further putting for that hole.
- (If a team is putting for a 3 and one of the players comes-up an inch short, then he can tap in to secure the 4 for the team. All the remaining putters may still putt for the 3.)
- (If the player misses the tap-in, and none of the other players makes the initial putt for 3, then the player who missed the tap-in cannot putt again on that hole.)
3-Man
Team Rotation
- On three-man teams one player will shoot twice from each position.
- Players will take turns, in strict rotation, as to who shoots twice for any given position.
Also
- All final team decisions are to be made by the captain, unless the team agrees otherwise.
- Please facilitate pace of play by having speedier players retrieve wayward shots.
Tie-Breaker
- 4-man putting competition
- Aggregate score
- All players must putt-out.
Pace
of Play - It
is the captain’s job to maintain a normal
pace of play.
Tee-to-Green
- Decisions of which ball to select should be made ‘on the hoof’, while leaving the tee box.
- Go to the next tee immediately after the final putt has sunk (no practice putting).
- Know the order of play and have players be ready for their turn.
- Have faster (younger?) players retrieve wayward balls.
On the Greens
- Use tap-ins
- Have a player at the hole to mark the ball
