Today we had (8) foursome teams all arriving on schedule at Gassan Khuntan to compete in a team scramble. We started today’s match off the #1 and #10 tee boxes with those teams that started off the back nine holes completing their respective rounds faster than those starting off the front nine. The reason for the slight delay was that a foursome teed-off prior to our start and with our groups completing in a scramble easily caught up to this group subsequently somewhat delaying our matches. On a brighter note we all completed our rounds under cloudy but rain less conditions. In addition to these good weather conditions the majority of the players commented that they never saw the course in such great condition.
The following are the results of this team event:
1st Place ended in a tie with a net score of 54.8 (Gross 66) being posted by:
The team of Jim Hopkins, Joe Albright, Iain Craig & Dennis Byrne
&
The team of Keith Freeman, Ralph Hamilton, Darrell Pinney & Ashley Kim Sing
2nd Place with a net score of 55.5 (Gross 64) goes to the team of:
Peter Hadden, Kenny Jones, Gary Cooke & Leon Smiler

Competition Rules for SCRAMBLE
Each team consists of four players.
All players can tee off at each hole.
The nominated team captain then selects the best drive and marks the position with a tee peg (not nearer the hole). The other players then retrieve their balls.
A minimum of three tee drives (only par 4 and par 5) per player is to be used. The second shot and third (and so on) can be hit by all players.
The players play within a score card distance 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 (one penalty shot).
Par 3’s are played by all Team members and do not count as Drives.
The above method of play is followed until the green is reached.
On the green the same method applies. The chosen ball is marked 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. If a player misses the Putt and taps it in without giving his team members a chance to putt than this is the final score.
The score is the total number of shots from the chosen spots (including the tee shot).
As for the Score calculation, the combined Handicap of all 4 players divided by 8 will be the team Handicap (numbers will be rounded up and down with .5 being the decider).
If a team consist of only 3 players the divider in 6 and each player must have at least 4 drives counted for the team.
At the end of the round the total for each hole is added together and the strokes received subtracted to give the total net medal score for the round. The winning team will be the one with the lowest net score. All other rules of golf apply to the “Ball in Play”. Rule 14.2. (assistance) will be ignored for the Club Scramble.
