We will begin with a shotgun start @ 1 pm followed by a putting contest then dinner. Shot gun start will only be in affect if we have a minimum of 60 golfers. The Golden Ball Rules Teams will be using the Texas Scramble format. 2 Drives from each player must be used instead of the normal three. Teams are made up of four players - Player# 1 and Player #2 will ride one golf cart. Player #3 and Player #4 will ride the other golf cart. Player #1 will be the Team Captain who will be responsible for keeping the team score. Player# 1 has been assigned #1 balls, Player #2 has been assigned # 2 balls, etc. All play will be from the White tees for all players. Competition Rules: Each player is given one Golden Ball. Their Golden Ball numbers will be the same as their Player#. Each player must play it on each shot until lost. They then must revert to the normal white ball for the remaining holes. Scoring as follows - White Ball /Golden Ball Bogey 1- 2 Par 2 - 4 Birdie 3 - 6 Eagle 4 - 8 Scoring is based on the color of the ball that goes into the hole first. So be careful when putting. The idea is to let the Golden Balls putt first to maximize points. If a white ball should be sunk first, then you must score accordingly. The higher the score, the better. Highest score wins under the Stableford system. Corporate Promo Items or any other Prize items would be greatly appreciated.
