Green tees (68.8/114). Return scorecard
with two signatures in person to official
scorer.
Format
• Scramble, holes #1–6. Both
players tee off. Select the shot you want to play, and both players hit from
that spot. Continue in this manner until the ball is holed. Once the ball is
holed your score is official, so be sure to mark your ball on the green if your
partner has not yet putted.
After you decide which shot you will
play, mark the spot with a tee or ball marker. Each player must place the ball
within 12” of that tee no closer to the hole and play his next shot. YOU MAY NOT USE THE 12” TO IMPROVE YOUR LIE
(stay in the rough, in a bunker, behind a tree, OB, on the apron of the green,
etc.).
• Better ball, holes #7–12. Each competitor plays his own ball. Record both scores
unless you pick up because you are out of a hole (strongly recommended).
Preferred lies in the fairway and on the apron only: mark, lift, clean, replace
within 12”, no closer to hole. You may not use the 12” to move from the apron
onto the green.
• Selected drive–alternate shot, holes #13–18. Both partners tee off. Select which drive you will play, and
alternate that ball to the hole. If you select A’s drive, then B will hit the
next shot, A will hit the third shot, etc. Note: You MAY NOT switch balls to play your own preferred brand, including
for putting. Preferred lies in the fairway and on the apron only: mark, lift,
clean, replace within 12”, no closer to hole. You may not use the 12” to move
from the apron onto the green.
Disqualification: If you
play the wrong format on any hole the team will be disqualified. The format for
each six holes is noted on your score card. Signs on the first, seventh, and
thirteenth holes will remind you of the format.
Time of starting: If
your partner is late, you must start without him at your assigned tee time.
Since the first six holes are a scramble, and the next six holes are a better
ball, your partner may join you as late as the start of hole #13. If you have
begun play of a hole, your partner will begin play at the start of the next
hole.
