TEXAS SCRAMBLE RULES

Teams

  • Each team will consist of three of four players depending on how many players enter the competition.

Handicaps

  • There are no handicaps in the Ray Jessney Memorial Trophy (Christmas Texas Scramble).
  • We make the draw as fair as we can by listing all the players handicaps and draw one low handicapper. two middle handicappers and one high handicapper.

Tee Shots

  • All players in the team tee off on all holes.
  • A minimum of 3 tee shots per player must be used (minimum of 4 tee shots for teams of three). This includes Par 3’s.
  • The nominated team captain then selects the tee shot to be used and marks the ball position with a tee peg. The other players then retrieve their balls to the chosen tee shot.
  • All players then play within a club length of the tee peg (not nearer the hole) in any order.
  • YOU CAN TAKE A PREFERRED LIE ON THE FAIRWAY. IF THE BALL CHOSEN IS IN THE ROUGH OR A BUNKER THEN THE OTHER PLAYERS IN THE TEAM MUST DROP THEIR BALL RATHER THAN PLACING IT.

Putting

  • On the green the same method applies. The ball chosen is marked and all players putt from that spot in any order.
  • Each player marks the ball after putting. Play continues from each chosen position until ball is holed.
  • IF A PLAYER TAKES A PUTT AND MISSES BUT THEN TAPS THE BALL IN THE HOLE THAT SCORE COUNTS AND THE REMAINING PLAYERS CANNOT PUTT.

Scoring

  • The gross score for each hole is marked down in the marker's score column.
  • The scorecard columns A, B, C & D will be assigned to the team players, put a tick on each hole to signify which player's tee shot was taken. Each player must have three tee shots selected.
  • If there is a tie, we will count back the gross score on the last nine holes. If that is a tie then we count back the last six, three, two & one hole until we have a winning group.
