Shotgun scramble tournament scheduled for July 30

Golfers from the Leisure World men’s and women’s golf clubs wanting to play in the July 30 shotgun scramble tournament will be able to sign up at Tuesday and Wednesday golf tournaments starting July 15 and continuing to July 29 or sellout. Sign up early to guarantee a spot. Questions can be directed to Ron Steele at 559-905-3296 or Dave LaCascia at 801-674-5975.

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

The groups of six will start at a different hole and play 18 holes. The tournament will start promptly at 8 a.m. followed by a barbecue at Clubhouse 1. Golfers are requested to arrive and check-in by 7:15 and then proceed to their assigned starting hole. Cost for the scramble and the barbecue is $20.

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

2. Each best shot will be marked, 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 concessions.

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’s 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.
