Scramble Rules

Scramble Rules

 

With four players per team, golfers at the 2024 Look Local First Golf Classic will compete in an 18-hole course with modified rules, emphasizing fun. Rules for playing in our scramble are informal, with no individual scores.

 

1. A scramble means all team members tee off on each hole, decide which tee shot they like 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. This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts. The ball should also be marked on the putting green.

 

3. Putts must 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 all team members can attempt the team’s original putt.

 

4. If the ball you choose to play is in a hazard (sand, water, etc.), rough, or out of bounds, you cannot drop the ball outside of the hazard or rough even if the relief is within one club length away.

 

5. Two Putt Maximum: Each team is allotted one putt attempt. The ball must be on the green. If the ball is not holed after one putt, the ball will be picked up, and a stroke will be added to the hole score. This is to ensure the pace of play. The two-putt max rule only applies to the green. No Gimmies.

 

6. Scorecards must be signed, attested, and turned in at the conclusion of the round.
