The following rules have governed all of the past tournaments and met only mild complaints... The tournament will be a 4-person scramble format. Scoring is handicapped for those needing it. We have both scratch and handicap teams. Each player will hit the ball and as a team, select which of the four shots was the best. Just remember that one of the four shots must be selected no matter how bad it was!!! (Example: All 4 players hit their balls in the water. Then the team will hit 3 from the tee box or 3 before the point of entry into the water no nearer the hole.) The ball selected will be the point at which each of the four players will hit their next shot. This same rule applies once the team has reached the green. Each of the players will putt from the same point (for all you Aggies, make sure you all do not do this at the same time!). The score will be the total of each best shot which was selected. In the event that your score is more than a triple bogey (3 shots over par) on any one particular hole, please pick up and proceed to the next hole. Also in case any of your teammates lose a ball or themselves please try to keep the search party down to around 3 minutes or less and a memorial service can be held for all lost balls and players after the tournament. All men should tee off from the white tee box area which is the next tee area from the blue tee boxes. Any heroes or golfing gods which wish to tee off from the championship blue tees probably should not be playing in this tournament, and the should dump the full amount of sand in their shoes as they tee off from the white tee area. All ladies should tee off from the red tee box. If any lady has played from any other colored tee box a random test will be conducted to validate gender. The same rule above about the blue tees apply to the ladies as well. There will be 4 holes for the closest to the pin contest and indicated on your event packet. If one of your team members placed a ball within any of the flags, please remember to position and update the flag with the name of the person who hit that shot. A longest putt competition will be determined. After your team has completed the hole, each team member will putt from a specific place on the green. The closest ball to the hole will be marked. If more than 1 person makes the putt a putt-off will be held. In case of any ties, the scores of each team involved will be compared from hole 18 on back. For example, if Team 1 and Team 2 tie for first and Team 1 scored a 4 on hole 18 while Team 2 scored 5, then Team 1 would be declared the champions.
