Team Scramble

- Each golfer will then hit their ball within one club length of the previously determined “best shot location” when playing shots off the green. For shots on the green, each player must play their shot within a putter’s head of where the ball came to rest.
- All four members of a team start by teeing off on each hole before deciding on the best shot through a consensus. The “best ball” will retain its lie while the remaining players will pick up their balls and proceed to hitting their next shot where the best ball has been determined.
- The team with the lowest total score for the 18-hole round shall be declared the winner.
- In the case of a tie:
- Teams in tie shall play a single playoff hole as chosen by the tournament organizer.
