PCM9GA BEST BALL SCRAMBLE
RESULTS

On, August 9, 2007, thirty-six PCM9GA members played in the August "Best Ball Scramble" golf tournament. It was a beautiful, muggy summer morning, but everyone seemed to enjoy the relaxed environment of playing together with their fellow PCM9GA homeowners. After the competition, participants were treated to coffee and muffins. Tournament host, Tom Richmond, thanked all 34 members who played in the event for their participation and then Asst. Golf Professional Ron Decker announced the winners. After a hard fought battle of many teams, there was a tie for second place at net 36 which was settled by a score card play off before the second place winner was finally decided.

The PCM9GA board wants to thank Tom Richmond, Fred Zikas, and Trevor Ballinger for their hard work in making this event a success. Everyone is reminded that the next tournament will be the second Thursday in September. You must have a handicap and be signed up by noon Monday September 10, 2007 to participate in this tournament.

Respectfully submitted,

Rules of Play

• GOLF SCRAMBLE RULES: (all golf rules shall conform to USGA Rules with allowance for local rules)
  
  FORMAT: 9 hole Tournament - four person scramble tournament.
  
  RULES: All rules interpretations will be handled and resolved by the local Pro. In the event of a tie, the Pro will determine by format.
  1. The player with the lowest handicap on each team will be designated the Captain. He will be responsible for keeping the team score, and turning in the score card after play to club Pro. He is also responsible for any "on course" rulings as needed.
  2. 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.
  3. The other team members pick up their balls and place them within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the marked spot. Each team member hits their next shot from the chosen spot of the prior shot.
  4. 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. Putt must be holed.
  5. Any team consisting of only 3 players: On the first hole, one team member will hit 2 tee shots. Both shots will be used to determine where to play the second shot. The second team member will then hit 2 shots from there. On the third shot the remaining third member will hit 2 shots. This rotation of the team members hitting a second shot will continue throughout the entire match.
  6. Putts need to be made 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.
  7. If the ball you choose to play is in a hazard (sand, water, etc.), the rough, or out of bounds, you can not drop the ball outside of the hazard or rough even if relief is within one club length away.
  8. Each team must use at least one of each team members tee shots.
  9. Tee off from the white tees.
  10. There will be no mulligans.
  

  
  GOLF ETIQUETTE:
  1. Please smooth all marks made in sand traps
  2. Leave the putting green as soon as you have holed out.
  3. Do not walk in the putting line of your partners.
  4. Do not play until the players in front of you are out of range.
  5. Balls may be cleaned only after they are on the green.
  6. Ball marks can be repaired prior to putting.
