PricewaterhouseCoopers Golf Tournament and Academy 2007 - Rules
Texas Scramble Rules
Each team will consist of two players.
Both players can tee off at each hole.
Team then selects the best drive and marks the position (within 6 inches) with a tee peg (not nearer the hole).
The other player then retrieve his/her ball.
The player whose ball has been chosen then plays his next shot first.
The remaining player then play within six inches of the tee peg (not nearer the hole). Note! Golf balls shall be placed on closely mown areas and dropped if the chosen ball in play is in the rough or a hazard.
The above method of play is followed until the green is reached.
On the green the same method applies. The ball chosen is marked by a putter head length and players putt from the same spot in turn.
Each player must mark the ball after putting. Play continues from each chosen position until the ball is holed.
The score is the total number of shots from the chosen spots (including the tee shot). Note! If a player putts and misses but then inadvertently knocks the ball into the hole, then that score counts.
At the end of the round the total for each hole is added together, and the strokes received (sum of strokes of two players divided by two) subtracted to give the total net medal score for the round. The winning team will be the one with the lowest medal score.
Tournament is playing in following categories:
0-17,9 hcp - stroke play
18-36 hcp - stroke play
Each player should have valid handicap confirmed by home club. Players without confirmed handicaps play with hcp 0.
Prizes are giving for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each category.
