Funday Pairs Texas Scramble

PAIRS TEXAS SCRAMBLE

PLEASE NOTE - THIS COMPETITION IS NOW BEING PLAYED AT GRAMACHO

Teams of 2 - Both players drive on each tee. Stroke Play scoring.

The team then decides which of their balls is in the best position for the next shot. The position of the ball must be marked. The player whose  ball was chosen must play first. The other player in the team may clean their ball and then play it from the marked position:

 - On the green or fairway they must place it, not nearer the hole, within 6 inches (the height of a scorecard);

 - Otherwise (e.g. in the rough, in a bunker etc.) they must drop it, not nearer the hole, within one club-length. When dropping in the hazard the ball must hit part of the hazard first.

The next shot is taken by both players from the best position (which must be marked) and so on until the hole is finished. Each player must use a minimum of 7 drives each, which must be clearly marked on the card, simply by recording the gross score for the team under the column of the player whose tee shot was used.

Players are allowed to substitute the ball, when their own ball is a distance away from the chosen ball, especially, if this is done to maintain the pace of play.

How to Determine Team Handicap and NET Score: The team handicap is 20% of combined sloped handicaps of both players. Handicap allowances will be calculated to one decimal place. Example: 2 Player Team with combined handicap of 48 x 20% = 9.6 strokes off total gross score (e.g. final gross is 74 - 9.6 = 64.4 net) 

Social team competition, 100% sloped handicap, Yellow tees for men, Red tees for ladies.
