GOLF SCRAMBLE RULES – Four Person Scramble Format

You may lift, clean and place your ball within one (1) club length on the selected shot; however, you may not move your ball out of a hazard (including bunkers), out of the rough, from the fairway or rough to the apron or from the apron to the green.
  2. Putts need to be placed within 3 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole). The first ball that goes in the hole is counted for the team score.
  3. This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the golf holes, including putts. Balls must be marked on the putting green.
