Xmas Turkey Golf Day

Handicaps: 

The Team Handicap comprises the total of the slope-rated handicaps of the four players added together and divided by 8. Handicaps are to be rounded up or down before being added together. PGC Admin team will calculate all team handicaps and enter them onto the scorecards at registration.

Should a team have only 3 players, the handicaps are divided by 6.

Competition:

1. Men are to tee off from the Yellow tees. Women are to tee off from the Red tees.
2. The Format is a four-person scramble. It is advised that a team captain is chosen who will select the tee shots to be used. The team must select a minimum of four tee shots of each player on the team during the round.
3. All four team members tee off on each hole and then decide which tee shot they like best and mark the spot. All four players then play from the marked spot. The best shot of the four players is then selected and used and so on until the hole is completed.
4. From selected shots, each player can place the ball within one club length, no closer to the hole. If the selected ball is in the rough, each player must play from the rough.
5. Once on the putting green, mark the selected ball on the putting green. Each player is to attempt the putt from the same spot. The first ball to go in is counted for the team score. If no player makes the putt, mark the best remaining putt and all team members are to putt from there.
6. If the ball that the team selects is in a hazard/penalty area (bunker or water), or in the rough, or out of bounds, you cannot drop the ball outside the penalty area/hazard or rough, even if relief is within one club length away. If the ball selected is in a sand bunker, everyone must hit from the sand bunker within one club length. You can rake the bunker after each shot. If the ball selected was in the water, drop out under the Rules of Golf and add a penalty stroke for each player hitting from the drop. A ball hit out of bounds is usually not selected, but if it is, the players all must re-hit from where the ball was hit before it went out of bounds, and each player must add a “stroke and distance penalty” (2 strokes).
7. The gross team score only must be entered on the scorecard once each hole is completed. The team handicap will be deducted from the total gross score.
