Structuring your Outing

Types of outing play - You’ll have many options to choose from - yourouting coordinator can help. Here are the two most popular.

• Shotgun Best Ball Scramble is the most popular, fastest and easiesttype of play. All four players tee off; the team selects the best shot andplays from that position. The process continues until the hole is com-pleted. Please note: availability of shotgun starts is limited.

• Reserved Tee- Time Tournament. This format is the best for asmaller group. Each participant is given a specific tee-time and playbegins at hole number one. Your group can decide if a best ball, orindividual scores format will be in effect.

Handicapping players. To make play enjoyable for golfers of every skill level youmay consider using a handicapping system. For one time events, a chart is used tosubtract a specific number of holes/strokes for a players score. This levels the playingfield and helps less experienced golfers enjoy their round, and most importantlybecome eligible for any low score prizes that may be part of your event.
