Men’s and women’s shotgun scramble set for Dec. 6 play

LW MEN'S GOLF CLUB

The Leisure World Men’s Golf Club will sponsor a shotgun scramble team tournament on Dec. 6. Players must be a member of the LW men’s or women’s golf clubs and have a handicap to play.

With a full complement of 54 players, there will be six individuals, men and women, on each team. Teams are chosen by using individual handicaps as of the November calculations. Players will not know who their teammates are until the day before the tournament.

The tournament will start promptly at 7:30 a.m. Players are requested to arrive and check-in no later than 7:15 and then proceed to their assigned starting hole. Rules are below and are identical to the last scramble played. These will be available at sign-up and will also be posted. 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 six inches of that spot. 3. Only the best score is entered on the scorecard. No individual scores are kept. 4. Everyteammembermust use their drives (as the 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. Golfers from the LW men’s and women’s golf clubs will be able to sign up at the Tuesday and Wednesday golf tournaments in November. The sign-up fee will be $12.
