4-Ball Scramble

This is a four person team game; two standard couples comprise a team. On each hole, all players hit from tee then select one ball. All move to the selected ball and all hit from that spot. Continue this pattern thru the hole. The result is one score for the team for each hole; there are no individual scores. Team must use at least two tee shots per player during the game.

Balls may be placed within one club length on fairway and rough and 6 inches on green and in bunker, no closer to hole. (May not move from rough to fairway or out of bunker).

Enter team score on TEAM SCORE line. Compute total team score on TEAM SCORE line and subtract team handicap for NET TEAM SCORE. (Team handicap is 25% of total players’ handicaps.)

Handicap: No dots on scorecard. Mark 25% of total players’ handicaps on team score line.

Pairings process as follows:

1. Pair standard couples line by line and compute a COUPLE INDEX for each couple.

2. Sort the list of couples by COUPLE INDEX (low to high)

3. Equally divide the list into flights of no more than sixteen couples for each flight. Example: With a field of 64 couples, the lowest 16 COUPLE INDEXs on the list make up Flight 1, the second lowest 16 COUPLE INDEXs make up Flight 2, etc.

4. Form the teams in each flight by pairing the highest COUPLE INDEX with the lowest COUPLE INDEX, second highest with second lowest, etc.
