Description of Formats:

Four Ball- Each Teammate will play their own ball through the green until their ball is holed.  The team will record their NET Best Ball. This format will be played at 85 % of your individual course handicap.

Shamble (Preferred Drive) – Each Teammate will tee off.  The Team will then choose the best drive of the two.  The teammates will then proceed by playing their own ball through the green until the ball is holed.  The preferred drive is still applicable on Par 3’s.  This format will be played at 70% of your individual course handicap. The team will record their NET Best Ball.

Scramble (Preferred Shots) – Each Teammate will tee off.  The Team will then choose the best shot of the two.  The team will continue in the fashion through the green until the ball is holed. This format will be played at 35% of the A player’s individual course handicap and 15% of the B player’s individual course handicap.  

Modified Alternate Shot (Pinehurst)– Each Teammate will tee off.  Teammate “A” will then play Teammate “B”s drive or vice versa.  Two shots are now complete.  On the third shot, the team will choose the best ball or position to play from and then proceed under the Scramble or Preferred Shot format through the green until the ball is holed.  This format will be played at 60% of the A player’s individual course handicap and 40% of the B player’s individual course handicap.  The handicaps are combined to make a team handicap 

Rules: All play will be governed under the USGA Rules of Golf.  All tall, native or fescue grass and environmentally sensitive areas that border the boundaries of the golf course will be considered a lateral hazard. All balls lost in these areas will be played under the observed local rule. Please proceed by determining (in your foursome) where the ball entered the penalty area.  Drop your ball nearest point of relief, two club lengths from the penalty area no closer to the hole. This local rule does not apply to hitting it in the woods and not being able to find the ball (i.e. pulled tee shot into the woods on #11).  This will be considered a lost ball and you will proceed under stroke and distance. You will go back to the spot where the ball was last hit and play in from there under a 1 stoke penalty.  If there is doubt to any rule, please play two balls, and alert the tournament committee.

Tie Breaker: In the event of a tie, the teams will play Hole #8 under the Modified Alternate Shot format.

Awards Ceremony: Trophies & awards will be given to the winners.  Awards distribution will depend on the size of the field.
