NIHGA Scramble Rules
- If a team has only three players, each player will only take one shot per hole. There will be no rotating of players for the fourth shot. If you sign up fewer than four players, individuals needing a team may be added to your group.
- All balls must be placed within one club length of the ball that has been chosen as the best shot. The club length shall not place the ball closer to the hole or improve the lie from hazards, rough, fringe, or out of bounds.
- Putts need to be made within 3 inches of the chosen ball, but no closer to the hole. No Gimmes.
- Each player’s tee shot must be used at least two times during the 18-hole competition. A drive on a par 3 may count as one of the two times.
- All teams have a maximum score of bogey for each hole. Pick up your ball and move to the next hole when you reach the maximum score. If a course marshal directs you to skip a hole, record the maximum score for the skipped hole.
Tees Colors: Members play from the same tees they played during the regular season. Guests play from the tee on which their handicap is based. Middle (Blue, 6416 yds); Senior (White, 5884 yds); Forward (Red, 5333 yds)
Contests
- Closest to the Pin on all par 3’s. Long Drive on #9 and #18.
- Putting Contest: At the putting green when making the turn.
- Foursomes compete for low gross score within their flight.

Tie Breaker: USGA 9,6,3,1 rule – Ties will be broken by first looking at both teams’ cumulative scores for holes 10-18. The team with the lower score will win the flight. If the teams have the same score, the winner will be the team with the lowest cumulative score for holes 13-18. If the teams still have the same score, the team with the lowest score on hole 18 will win.
