Tournament Format: SCRAMBLE
The most common golf tournament format used with fundraising events and business-related golf is called a "scramble". It's often often called the "four-man scramble" or "Florida scramble". This popular tournament allows a team of four to select the best shot in each individual series of hits. Then the entire foursome will take their next shot from this location. This pattern continues to the end of each hole. Keep in mind that when playing a scramble, you can drop your ball within one club length from where the chosen ball lies, but no closer to the hole, and without improving your lie. For example, if you choose a ball in the rough, each player most play from within 1 club length of the chosen ball from the rough. The advantage of a scramble golf tournament format is that each team will get its best possible score while wasting no time trying to locate balls hit into trees, sand traps, creeks, etc. The Scramble is usually played with teams of four, but can be played with more team members or as little as two per team.
Tournament will have prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
