Men's Captains Charity Day - mixed Texas scramble open Rules
<p>BVGC Men’s Captain’s Charity Texas Scramble Terms of Competition 1. The formula for a 4-player team scramble allowance is 25% /20%/ 15% /10% from lowest to highest Course Handicap. 2. TEEING OFF a) All players tee-off at each hole. b) Men from Yellow tees and Ladies from red tees. c) There must be a minimum number of tee shots used per player during the Round: (i) For teams of 4; minimum of four tee shots used per player. 3. PLAY a) After the tee shots have been taken, the nominated team captain then selects the best shot (“The Selected Shot”) and marks its position (“The Chosen Position”) by placing a marker within 6 inches, at right angles to the line of play not nearer the hole. b) The player whose ball has been chosen then plays their shot from where it lies. c) The other players, having retrieved their balls, proceed in turn as follows: (i) If the Chosen Position is on the Putting Green or a closely mown area, the other players place their balls as close as possible to the Chosen Position and play from there. If a divot has been made by any player, following players may place their balls avoiding the divot. (Not nearer to the hole). (ii) If the Chosen Position is located elsewhere (i.e. within a bunker or in the ‘rough’), the other players drop their balls and play from where they come to rest. However, the ball shall be re-dropped (only) if it: • rolls into and comes to rest in a hazard; • rolls out of and comes to rest outside a hazard; • rolls onto and comes to rest on a putting green; • rolls and comes to rest out of bounds; • rolls back into a divot made by a team member playing previously • rolls and comes to rest more than one club-length from where it first struck a part of the course; or • rolls and comes to rest nearer the hole than the Chosen Position. (iii) If the Chosen Position lies within a Bunker, the sand may be raked after each player’s shot, before the next player drops their ball. (iv) If the Selected Shot lies within a water hazard, the normal Rules of Golf apply in determining the Chosen Position (with a penalty shot being added to the score as normal) d) The above method of play is followed until the ball is holed. 4. SCORE a) The score is the total number of Selected Shots from tee to holing out. Note! If a player putts and misses but then inadvertently knocks the ball into the hole, then that shot automatically becomes The Selected Shot. b) At the end of the Round the total score for each hole is added together and the strokes received are subtracted to give the total net Medal score for the round. The winning team will be the one with the lowest net Medal score. c) The gross score for each hole should be marked on the score card against the player whose tee shot was used, e.g. A, B, C or D. 5. OTHER RULES a) All other rules of golf apply to the “Ball in Play”</p>
