Funday Florida Scramble - Registration is Closed

FLORIDA SCRAMBLE

Teams of 4 - All 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 player whose ball is selected then marks the position of their ball and picks it up. He/she does NOT play the next shot. The other players in the team (in any order) may clean their own 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.

This procedure (select->mark->each player plays, except the player whose ball is chosen) is repeated until the hole is completed.
Each player must have a certain number of his/her drives selected and clearly marked on the card, simply by recording the gross score for the team under the column for the player whose tee shot was selected. The number of required drives will be indicated in the instructions for specific individual competitions.

How to Determine Team Handicap and NET Score: The team handicap is 10% of combined sloped handicaps for all teams. Handicap will be calculated to one decimal place. Example: 4 Player Team with combined handicap of 48 x 10% = 4.8 strokes off total gross score (e.g. final gross is 71 - 4.8 = 66.2 net)

For a 3 player team, on hole 1, Player A is allowed to play a "second drive",and a "second shot" at every stage of the hole, with a clearly identifiable "second ball". Player A is effectively a "playing ghost" on hole 1. It is like the team has 4 players.

On hole 2, Player B must play the additional ball, on hole 3, Player C, and then back to Player A on hole 4, etc. This should mean that a 3 player team is not disadvantaged relative to a 4 player team. The "ghost", like all other players, should have 4 drives identified clearly on the score card, and the teams gross score recorded in a separate column labelled "ghost" when the "ghost" drive is used.
