Rules
Format: Scramble:
Team Play: Each team consists of four players (foursome). All players will tee off on each hole.
Shot Selection: After all players hit their tee shots, the team will choose the best shot. Everyone then plays their next shot from that location. This process continues until the ball is holed out.
Scoring: The team will record one score per hole. The maximum score allowed is a bogey.
Ball Positioning:
General Play: Players may reposition their ball within one club length, as long as it's not closer to the hole and remains in the same type of area (fairway, rough, bunker, hazard).
On the Green: Players may move their ball up to six inches, no closer to the hole, from its original spot.
Drive Usage:
Foursome: Each player’s drive must be used at least twice during the round.
Threesome: Each player’s drive must be used at least three times. The fourth shot will rotate among the three players.
Twosome: Each player’s drive must be used at least five times, with each player hitting twice on each shot.
Special Rule:
Hole #9: On this hole, all players must use a hockey stick for putting. "Dragging" the stick through the shot is permitted while feet remain stationary, and as long as proper technique is followed.
