HOLE GAMES & CONTESTS
Unless otherwise indicated, the tournament will be a scramble format. The following contests and gimmick holes will also be in play. Contest/gimmick assignments will be announced prior to the start of the tournament. At registration, teams will receive a rundown of the format/gimmick for each hole.

FOUR BALL: For each team, Player A will play his lie all the way to the cup. Their partner, Player B, will simultaneously play their ball all the way to the cup. Once the hole is completed, the partner with the best score will be the one used to score the hole.

GIRLS PUTT: Here’s where we get to enjoy the talents of some of the ladies that love our fraternity. Regular scramble rules apply until the ball they play comes to rest on the green. The players can decide which of the ladies they would like to recruit to putt for them. From there, the girls putt until the ball is sunk. Teams may coach their putters.

DRAW THE CLUB: The name of each of the 14 clubs is placed in a hat. Each player draws one of the names. That is the club each player will have to use for that particular shot, all the way to the cup. This results in some really challenging shots and comical efforts, such as trying to hit a tee shot with a putter. Players will use the same club on subsequent holes designated “Draw the Club.”

ALTERNATE SHOT: One player hits the first drive. Their partner then hits the ball from wherever it lands, and so on, until the ball is in the cup.

SPEED PUTT: A polo-style approach to putting. As long as the player gets to the ball before it stops rolling, they are allowed to putt again without counting as a separate stroke.

CLOSEST TO PIN: The person who plays the hole first will write their name and the distance from their ball to the hole on the provided marker. When another player hits a ball closer, they write down their name and distance. This continues until everyone has completed play. At the end of the tournament, the player hitting a drive closest to the pin wins the prize!

LONGEST DRIVE: The object is to hit the longest and straightest drive during the course of play. In order to win the contest, the player’s shot must be in the fairway when it comes to rest. A marker is provided to mark the distance of the longest drive. At the end of the tournament, the player with the longest drive wins the prize!

MULLIGANS: Do-overs will be available at the time of registration. A mulligan is a stroke that is replayed from the spot of the previous stroke without penalty, due to an errant shot made on the previous stroke. The result is that the hole is played and scored as if the first errant shot had never been made.
