Texas Scramble (TS) is a competition format that is a basic scramble with a slight twist. This scrambles involves each foursome having 2-person teams. Each two person team will play their best balls.
Rules of Texas Scramble
- We will be playing the White Tee’s
- Each foursome will have 2 teams, with two members each.
- All players can tee off at each hole
- The nominated team captain then selects the best drive for the two teams and marks the position (within 6 inches) with a tee peg (not nearer the hole).
- Two teams continue to play their best balls till the ball in holed.
- The player whose ball has been chosen then plays his next shot first. If it happens to be the player whose tee shot is being used, you cannot use same person’s second shot.
- When putting, each player must mark the ball after putting. Play continues from each chosen position until the ball is holed.
- The score is the total number of chosen shots from the chosen spots (including the tee shot).
- Captain of each team shall be responsible for turning in the completed score card of both teams to the technical committee at the end of the game. Please also look for prize holes
General Rules of playing: Captains, please read this carefully.
Captains, please read this carefully.
Basic Rules for Regular (Stroke) Play. Please read these carefully and understand
- An important rule in golf is to play the ball as it lies, without moving it.
- Losing a golf ball while attempting to advance the ball through the playing area includes a one stroke penalty and a distance penalty. But to keep pace, we can drop a ball perpendicular to the approximate location of the lost ball within two club lengths on the fairway with one stroke penalty. (Two minutes to look for lost ball)
- Ball that is in water, same above rule applies. Drop a ball perpendicular to lie in water (where the ball landed in the water) within two club lengths on the fairway and play the ball with one stroke penalty.
- If your ball lies on or near the cart path or when the obstruction (manmade) interferes with your stance or the area of intended swing, you may take free relief – you must determine the nearest point of relief no closer to the hole with in two club lengths and the ball must be dropped. Same goes for all other man-made hazards.
- If the ball lies in the bunker (sand trap); it must be played as it lies, without moving the sand. Any movement of the ball or the sand to enhance the lie of the ball, one stroke penalty. (New Covid Exception: If there are no rakes in the bunker, or if your ball ends up in a divot/footprint, you may pick up the ball and place it on an undisturbed sand no closer to the hole without penalty.
- A ball is considered to be in a hazard when any part of the ball touches that hazard. Special rules apply to playing balls that have landed in a hazard. For example, a player may not touch the ground with his club before playing a ball. A ball in any hazard may be played as it lies without penalty. If it cannot be played from the hazard, the ball may be hit from another location, with a penalty of one stroke. Example, ball in tall grass, behind a tree, etc. etc.
- Once on the green, mark your ball. If your ball is not marked and another player playing their ball, contacts your ball there is a two-stroke penalty to the player playing the ball and one stroke penalty to the person who did not mark their ball.
- Repair your divot on the green as soon as you get to the green, if possible, repair another divot if you see one. Don’t step in the way of another player’s line.
- Keep accurate score of your strokes and penalties. Gimme for Stroke play is putters metal length or 2 feet. Gimme for Texas Scramble is one putter length.
- Captain must tell the players who have already scored triple bogie to pick up the ball after adding one more to the score. This will ensure pace of the play.
Be honest in score keeping, count all strokes and penalties accurately.
