Tournament Format:
Four person best ball scramble, that is four people on a team, after each hit, the “best” ball is selected, and the other three pick up and play the next shots within a club length of the ball.

“Bogie is your friend.” Once the Team has hit its par attempts and any mulligans, pick up and record a bogie on the hole. To maintain pace of play, do not make any bogie attempts, but rather immediately pick up, record a bogie and move to the next hole.

• To promote team diversification and encourage female participation, teams with at least one female player will have their gross score reduced by 1 stroke, and 1 additional stroke for each female member on the team, that is, 2 strokes for one female, 3 strokes for 2 female players, etc.
• Everyone may pick their own team.
• For each player with HDCP < 10 (i.e. average better than low 80’s), the team must have a player who routinely shoots in the 100’s.
• If you are not on a team when you sign up, the tournament director will assign you to a team.
• Tournament director may move players between teams.
