The final event of the Men’s Club season is called a Shamble. The format is a little unique. As in a scramble, all four members of the team tee off, and the best of the four tee shots is selected. All players may place their ball within one club length of the chosen tee shot, no closer to the hole. The player whose tee shot is used may also lift, clean, and place their ball before playing. If the selected shot is in a hazard, the rough, the fairway, or the fringe, the ball must remain there. From this point, the hole is played out as stroke play, with all members of the team playing their own ball until it is holed. The team score for each hole will be the best 2 of 4 net scores. Each player must hole out, even on the par three’s as we will be using the best 2 of 4 net scores. Each player must contribute a minimum of four tee shots in 18 holes; par threes count as tee shots. Please keep track of whose tee shot is used on the scorecard. Leaf Rule: If the members of your foursome agree that a ball was lost in the leaves, it is up to the group to come to a consensus where the ball was lost. When that spot is determined, you may take a free drop in that spot.
