NIHGA End-of-Year Outing
Scramble Rules


 

FLIGHTS:  Four/three player groups will be divided into several flights in order of group handicap.

1.

For each foursome (or threesome), the team handicap will be determined by averaging the individual handicaps for the four (three) players.
 

2.

The handicap for guests will be based on:
   (a)  Their NIHGA handicap index, if they had been members during the previous season.
   (b)  or their USGA handicap index, if they have one.
   (c)  otherwise zero.
 

3.

Guests all must use the middle (white) tees; rating 72.3, slope 136.
   (a)  Multiply the guest's handicap index by: (136/113) * 0.85 = 1.023
   (b)  Round the result up or down to an integer value.
   (c)  For example, an index of 10.3 yields the result 10.54, which rounds to 11.

 

COMPETITION: 

1.

A scramble means that all four team members tee off on each hole and then decide which tee shot they like the best and mark the spot with a tee or ball marker.
 

2.

The other team members pick up their balls and, in turn, place and hit their next shot from a spot within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the marked spot
 

3.

This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts.  The ball should be marked on the putting green also.
 

4.

Putts need to be played from within 3 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole).  The first ball to go in the hole is counted for the team score.
 

5.

If the ball you choose to play is in a hazard (sand, water, etc.), the rough, or out of bounds, you can not drop or place the ball outside of the hazard or rough even if relief is within one club length away.
 

6.

If a group has only 3 players then 1 person will hit twice, rotating on each hole, so that they will have 4 shots total for each new shot.
 

7.

Each team must use at least one of each team members tee shots on each nine (minimum two tee shots per player per round).

 
8.

 
All NIHGA members and former members with valid NIHGA handicaps will hit their drives from the same tees that they used during their latest season.  Guests will use the middle tees for men and forward tees for women.
 

We will have prizes for 2 long drive holes and 4 closest to the pin on par 3's and low-scoring foursomes in each flight.
