Tournament Rules


Overview: Play a 2 man best ball scramble and rotate partners throughout the course with each member of your team every 6 holes, to produce 2 scores for each hole, and ultimately combining all of the scores for the round to be presented as your group score for the day, for low score compared to the rest of the teams. 

How to Play/Score: Your team is your foursome. On each hole you will be paired up with another member of your foursome to form a twosome and you will play a two-man scramble on the hole. The other two players in your foursome will comprise the other twosome who will also play two-man scramble on the hole. At the conclusion of the hole, each team totals their score and then combines their score together for their foursome score on the hole. The twosomes rotate so that each player in the foursome is a teammate of one of the other three in the group for 6 holes apiece. 

Real world example: Foursome is Randy, Paul, Steve & Jim. On hole 1, Randy and Paul are a twosome and Steve and Jim are the other twosome. Everyone hits their tee shots, between Randy and Paul, they select the better ball to play for their second shot for their twosome and each play a second shot from that location, choose the best 2nd shot, etc until hole completed. The other twosome, Steve and Jim, do the same thing. At the conclusion of the hole, Randy and Paul scored a 5 while Steve and Jim scored a 4. The foursome get’s a 9 for the hole (add both together). These same twosomes play holes 1-6 and on the 7th hole, Randy and Steve become teammates leaving Paul and Jim to form the other team. Those teams play for holes 7-12. Last twosomes are Randy/Jim and Paul/Steve for holes 13 thru 18. Total scores for the round would be compared to double par for the course (144 based on 2 scores on each hole) to see net results and compare to the other teams for prizes and team MVP status. And key strategy is to avoid pairing the drunk guys together on the final 6 holes. 

While this may sound complicated, we promise it is not and we will go over it at the course to make sure the format is clear. We will not use handicaps or Stableford scoring as all of the partners need to contribute for a good score. And the Pink Ball will still be in play – still owned and put in play by one player on each hole. Finally, I think everyone realizes that you need a foursome to participate or at least be in a foursome. Singles (or groups less than 4) will be welcome but all efforts will be made to make their group have four players. 

In addition to the team and individual competitions, the tournament will also include several other competitions such as the "Pink Ball Challenge" and long drive and closest to the pin contests. 

Other Rules You Should Be Aware Of:
  • Drives must be in the fairway to be eligible to win long drive contests 
  • Ball must be on the green to be eligible to win closest to the pin contests 
  • Double par is the maximum score for any hole
