Memorial Day ABCD Scramble 

Monday May 27, 2024 

 

The Memorial Day ABCD Scramble is open to all Poland Spring Members with active GHIN handicap.  The Memorial ABCD will consist of 18 hole four player scramble,each team member hits a tee shot on each hole, the team then collectively decides which of the four balls is in the best position to play next. After the team decides which ball is best, mark the position with a tee, each player retrieves their ball, and then plays a shot from the new designated position. This procedure is repeated for each shot until a ball is holed.  A player’s lie may be improved by one club length (no closer to the hole) through the green with the exception of hazards. For example, if you elect to play a ball from a sand trap, the player whose ball you have chosen to play must play the ball as it lies and then the other team members will be allowed to place the ball (no closer to the hole). Once players have reached the green, the ball may not be placed to improve a player’s lie (must be placed at spot where it lies). All putts must be holed out. No gimmies. Each member of the team must use his/her tee shot once.

REGISTRATION LINK - Flag Day Registration

 

TEE TIMES - Member Times

 

ENTRY FEE - $25.00 per player

Flag Tourney features individual, 18 hole, stroke play format in which golfers begin the round of golf with an allotment of strokes, then play until those strokes run out.  Flags are given to competitors before the round. The golfers stick those flags in the ground at the point from which their ball comes to rest on their final shot allotted.  The golfer who stakes his flag the farthest around the course is the winner.

Here's an example: Let's say your allotment is 75 strokes. You play the golf course until you hit your 75th shot, which, let's say, comes to rest on the 16th fairway. That's where you plant your flag, on the place your ball came to rest on your final stroke. If no other player's flag is planted beyond yours (say, on the 16th green or 17th tee box) you are the winner.

 

DETERMINING STROKE ALLOTMENT - Full handicap (100%) will determine the stroke allotment. Using full handicaps, a golfer playing Poland Spring, a par-71 golf course and who has a course handicap of 14, for example, receives 85 strokes (71 for the course's par rating plus 14 for the golfer's handicap) as his tournament stroke allotment.

Using full handicaps often means that several golfers will reach the end of 18 holes with strokes left to use. In that event, all players with strokes remaining  would go back to the No. 1 hole and keep playing until the stroke allotment is reached.

 

ELIGIBILTY - Flag Tourney is open to all Poland Spring Members with active GHIN handicap.

 

PURSE - The golfer who stakes his flag the farthest around the course is the winner.  Winners will be awarded prize money, determined by finishing position, in the form of Pro Shop Credit.  All Pro Shop Credit must be used by October 15th.  .

 

RULES OF GOLF - All play will be governed by The Rules of Golf as approved by the USGA, except as modified by Local Rules. The Rules Committee will have the final authority on all rulings. The competition is deemed to be closed when the trophy is awarded to the champion.
