Scramble
Rules
Men will tee off from the middle/white tees, and women will tee off from the front/red tees. Both team members drive from the tee and select the best shot. Both players then play the next shot from the best position, as chosen by your two-person team, placing the second ball within one club length of the selected ball, but not nearer the hole in the fairway. If the chosen ball lies in the rough, sand, or water hazard, it must be played from this condition (you may not use the club length to move the ball into the fairway or out of the hazard). The same procedure is used on all shots, including putts. Putts must be placed within 2 inches of their original position, not nearer the hole. Hole out short putts to speed up play. The score of the first ball holed will count and that ends play for that hole for that team. Leave your signed/attested scorecard with the Intramural Tournament Supervisor. Failure to submit a scorecard will result in disqualification.
