2-Man Scramble Format

The format of this championship is 2-man scramble (also known as captain and mate). Instructions for the ball to be played is outlined below:

  • Through the Green: When the ball is through the green (not in a hazard or on a putting green), the ball may be lifted, cleaned and placed within one club-length  of its original position, no closer to the hole. A ball may not be moved from a spot through the green onto a green.
  • Putting Green: When a ball is on a putting green, both players must putt from that spot.
  • Hazards: If a ball is in a bunker or water hazard, the ball must be played as it lies. The second ball must be dropped from approximately 6 inches above the ground as near as possible to the spot of the first ball. The ball cannot be placed in a hazard.  
  • Unmarked Areas: Any unmarked areas are considered through the green.

 

Ties

If there is a tie for the winner in any division, a sudden-death will be used unless it is impossible due to darkness or course unavailability. Otherwise, ties will be broken using the USGA method of matching scorecards, which compares the last nine holes (10-18),
then last six holes (13-18), last three holes (16-18), and last hole (18).
