The 6’s Tournament RULES OF PLAY

Play is governed by the 2020 Rules of Golf except as modified by the Local Rules for Lakeview Golf Club.

FORMAT: Best Ball/ Alternate Shot/ Scramble

Holes 1-6 will be played in Bestball format. Each player plays their own ball from tee to cup. Whichever player on the team scores the lowest, that is the score that is marked. 

 

Holes 7 - 12 will be played as an alternate shot. This is how it sounds. No player shall hit the ball twice in a row. You may pick which player will tee off on#7, but after that, it is alternate shot. For example, if player A tees off, player B hits the ball where player A drove the ball too. After that, it is player A again until the ball is in the cup. Whichever player makes the ball in the cup, the other player will tee off. If any player hits a ball out of bounds during alternate shot, the other player will hit the next shot.  

 

Holes 13-18 will be a  scramble.

1. A scramble means that all team members tee off on each hole and then decide which tee shot they like the best and mark the spot with a tee or ball marker.

2. The other team members pick up their balls and place them within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the marked spot. Each team member hits their next shot from the chosen spot of the prior shot.

3. If the ball you choose to play is in a penalty area or the rough, you cannot drop the ball outside of the penalty area or rough even if relief is within one club length away.

4. This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts. The ball should be marked on the putting green also. You only need ONE score on each hole for the TEAM score.

5. Putts need to be made within 3 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole). The first ball to go in the hole is counted for the team score. When putting, once any ball is holed out, no further strokes count. The team is cautioned not to make “tap” in putts until Both team members have had the opportunity to attempt the team’s original putt.

6. TEE MARKERS : Men: White Tees Ladies: Red Tees

7. Local Rule: If ball is in the FAIRWAY and lies in dead spot, you may take relief as Ground Under Repair.

8. Out of Bounds is marked with White Stakes and white lines.

9.  Penalty areas are marked with Yellow lines and stakes and Red Lines and stakes.
