Men’s Shamble/Women’s Shamble– Ramblewood Country Club – Wednesday, September 18


What is a shamble?
Both players hit a tee shot on each hole. Choose the better drive. Both players complete the hole from that spot, each playing his own ball. Two scores for each hole. The better score on each hole will count, similar to a better ball format. Must use at least seven drives from each player.

(You may sign up without a partner, and I will try to find one for you.)

MEN’S TEES–ALL MEN WILL PLAY FROM THE WHITE TEES. The senior tees at Ramblewood are on the women’s tee boxes, making the yardage too short for a men’s competition. I plan to move the tees up on several long holes.

RiverWinds Rules and Course Information


Please print and bring to the tournament.

SCRAMBLE RULES
1. You must use 7 tee shots from each player (par 3 holes included).
2. Each player tees off on each hole. Select one tee shot and both players play their second shots from that spot, and so on, until the ball is holed. Once the ball is holed, the score for that hole is final.
3. Once you select the shot to be used, place a marker on the ground. The next shot by both players must be hit from within 12 inches of that marker, no closer to the hole. You may not use the 12 inches to improve your condition. Once the ball is on the green, both players must putt from the exact same spot.
4. Record one score for each hole.
5. There are no “gimmies;” hole every ball.

• Start your trip to the first tee at least 15 minutes before your tee time, earlier if you want to use the practice putting green and chipping area located near the first tee.
Return completed scorecard in person to the official scorer at the 18th green.
• No restaurant or snack bar at course. Roving cart with hot dogs, peanut butter sandwiches, and drinks. Dunkin’ Donuts and Wawa nearby. 

LOCAL RULES
• Replace large divots; use sand bottles for divot repair.
• If dry conditions, carts may ride on fairways. Do not ride in rough or on mounds.
• Environmentally Sensitive areas are restricted. Abandon ball; play under water hazard rule.

COURSE INFORMATION
• Hit a provisional for any ball hit into the fescue or high grass.
• Small flag on flagstick indicates hole location: high is back, low is front.
• The only “bathroom” is a portable accessible from 1st tee and 9th green.
#1: Drop area for tee shots that do not carry the hazard is located at the green sign over hazard on the right. The carry across the hazard is approximately 160 yards from the front of the teeing ground.
#2: Hidden bunker in front of left half of green.
#3: Note OB fence on right side.
#4: Dogleg right. Wooded area on right side is a lateral hazard.

Lateral hazard on left 200 yards from White tee. Optimum tee shot from Gold tees is 170 yards. There is a large bunker crossing the fairway at the 150-yard marker that you will want to avoid.
#6: Slight dogleg left.

Important Notice about RiverWinds Tees


As I mentioned on the RiverWinds application, men on the senior tees will lose 7 strokes. However, this is a scramble, and the handicap allowance is 35% of the lower handicap and 15% of the higher handicap. As such, the actual stroke loss from the senior tees will be approximately 3 shots if you are the lower handicap player and approximately 2 shots if you are the higher handicap player. Please remember that teams with one player competing from the senior tees are eligible for net prizes only.

If you want to change to the senior tees, please reply to this e-mail right now and tell me that you want to play from the senior tees.
