This month's tournament is Two-Man Scramble (see the format/rules below). The first tee time is 07:31 (see the pairings below). Please check-in at least forty-five minutes prior to your tee time.

Below are the projected rules. Changes can be expected. The rules at game time, on Saturday, take precedence over these posted on the web site.

Rules

TEAMS: This format is two-man team with handicap differential of no more than five strokes.

HANDICAP: Handicaps are based on player's Index as of 1 August 2009.

FORMAT: Each team member hits his tee shot. For the second shot, by mutual agreement, the ball in the best location is selected. Each member plays his next shot from within one club length of the selected ball, but no nearer the hole. This procedure shall continue until a ball is on the putting green.

• If ball is in the rough and within one club length, ball may be moved onto fairway.
• You may NOT use the one club length to move from the fringe to the green, from out of bounds to inbounds nor to get relief from a hazard.
• If you elect to play a ball from a bunker, the ball shall be played as it lies by the player who hit into the bunker. Then, the other player rakes the bunker and places his ball in the same area for his shot.

Teeing positions: ALL players hit from White Tees.

On the putting green: Place a marker next to the selected ball. All putts are made from within six inches of this spot, no closer to the pin. Mark and remove all balls that have been putted. Continue this procedure until a putt is holed out. Move to the next tee.

SCORING:

• Each two man TEAM shall swap score cards with the other twosome in their assigned foursome.
• Score the hole when your ball is holed out.
  
• When ball is holed, play ends on that hole.
• Enter GROSS Team Score.
• Winners are determined by Team Total GROSS Score less one half of combined handicap.
• Ties will be broken by matching scorecards using Team GROSS Score, hole-by-hole starting with hole number one, until the tie is broken.
  
• You are responsible for the correctness of your score.
