Format:
Hole #’s 1 – 6 Regular Scramble:
Both players tee off from their respective tee. After teeing off, the team members decide which shot they prefer and then both hit from that location. This procedure is repeated until the ball is holed.
Notes: If the shot selected is to be played from a hazard, rough, fairway, or fringe of the green, with the exception of improving your lie one club length (no closer to the hole) you may not change the condition that the ball lies in. When putting, the ball must be placed within a putter head of the selected shot (no closer to the hole). Teams are cautioned not to make tap-ins until your partner has had an opportunity to make the team’s original putt. Once the ball is holed out, no further strokes are permitted.
Hole #’s 7 – 12 Modified Alternate Shot (Chapman Format):
Each hole, Both players on a team hit tee shots, and then each play second shots using their partner's tee shot location. After both players second shots, the team must select one ball location from which to complete the hole using alternate shot format. Example:
Shot 1 (Tee Shot) – Player A hits his tee shot down the left side fairway. Player B slices his tee shot into a fairway bunker.
Shot 2 (Second Shot)- Player A now must hit Player B ball, from the bunker, and Player B hits Player A ball from the fairway.
AFTER SHOT 2 A DECISION MUST BE MADE!! Now you must select Player A 2nd shot or Player B 2nd Shot to finish the hole.
At this point, it is TRUE ALTERNATE SHOT. Not a scramble. So if you select Play A 2nd shot, player B will hit the 3rd shot followed by Player A hitting the 4th shot and continue alternating until the ball is holed.
"What happens if you go OB." First... that ball hopefully won't be used. But if Player A goes OB off the tee, then Player B needs to hit Player A’s ball but from where the original shot took place (and technically that ball is now being hit for 3).
If they both go OB, then they're both hitting again from the tee for 3. After that they pick the best shot and alternate in from the selected shot.
Hole #’s 13 – 18 One Best Ball of Two:
Each player will play his or her own ball for the entire hole. The lowest score of the two will be your team score. Example: Player A makes a six, and his or her partner makes a five. The team score is five. Both team members do not have to finish each hole. Players can pick up to help with pace of play.
