How It Works
Rules & Format
🏌️
2-Man Scramble
Both players tee off. The team chooses the best shot. Both players hit from that spot. Repeat until holed. One score per hole.
🚫
No Mulligans
No second chances. No do-overs. Play it as it lies. Just great golf, pure and simple.
📍
Lie Rule
Place within one club length of the selected shot, no closer to the hole, without improving the lie.
📋
Scorekeeping
Track hole-by-hole scores, front 9, back 9, round totals, and circle all birdies clearly on the scorecard.
👕
Team Identity
Each team must have a team name and matching colored shirts for both days. Dominant color must clearly match.
🤝
Conduct
Keep it competitive but fun. No mid-round disputes. Everything trackable from the scorecard. No extra penalty payments.
