Shotgun scramble is scheduled for Jan. 29

GOLF

With a maximum of 60 players, there will be six players (men and women) on each team for the shotgun scramble on Jan. 29. Teams are chosen by using individual handicaps as of the January calculations. Players will not know who their teammates are until the day before the tournament.

Golfers from Leisure World’s men’s and women’s golf clubs will be able to sign up at the Tuesday and Wednesday golf tournaments starting Jan. 7 through Jan. 22 or sellout. Entry fee is $13 per person. Sign up early to guarantee a spot. For more information, contact Steve Moody at 424-213-3002. Up to nine groups of six will start at a different hole and play 18 holes. The tournament will start promptly at 8 a.m. Golfers are requested to arrive and check-in by 7:45 and then proceed to their assigned starting hole. Special tournament rules will be posted in the golf shack and are identical to previous scramble’s played.

Players must be a men’s or women’s golf club member and have a handicap to play.

1. Each team member tees off and then it’s best ball until the ball goes in the hole.

2. Eachbestshotwillbemarked, and each player plays from within 6 inches of that spot.

3. Only the best score is entered on the scorecard. No individual scores are kept.

4. Every team member must use their drives (as best ball) off the tee three times. This must be noted on the scorecards.

5. All balls must be played into the hole—no gimmies or concession.

6. There will be no improvement of lies except for balls in tree wells, blocked by fence, in mud, or standing water. Remember—move the ball no closer to the hole.

7. Pins will be located near the middle of each green. Men’s tees will be at the blue markers with the women red tees closer to the hole.

8. Only one ball—and thus one score—counts per hole for each team and the team with the lowest total score for the 18 holes wins the tournament.
