Jun 16, 2009 - CVGA Texas Scramble

Today we played our fifth Texas Scramble of 2009 and we had twenty-one (21) teams.

In today’s event, we had two opposing three-person teams play together to insure that the rules were followed, the minimum numbers of drives per player (four) were met, and the proper scores were recorded. 

For 2009, we decided that no player could contribute two consecutive shots on a hole unless the ball was on the green.  Once on the green, all the players were able to putt.  We also placed a twelve stroke restriction on the players handicaps, based on the lowest handicapped player.  A 20 handicap player could play with a 4 handicap player, but the 20 would be reduced to 16 (several teams had their handicap adjusted today using this rule).  Finally, we raised the percentage of handicap used to determine the net score from 10% to 15%.

Also, for 2009, we have an A and a B flight in each Texas Scramble.  The top three teams in each flight will win prizes (each player of the winning team in each flight will be awarded a free round of golf at VDS).  Team handicaps will determine the flight you are in.  The lowest one-half of the teams will be placed in the A flight.  If we have an odd number of teams then a coin toss will determine the flight that team is placed.

Today the A flight teams had combined handicaps between 18 and 55, while the B flight ranged from 56 to 73.

Today’s results (gross, net and points for team of the year) are:

Format for next week

 Tuesday, June 23, we will be playing an individual “stableford”.  In a “stableford” your handicap determines the number of strokes (if any) that you get off your gross score on each hole.  In a stableford, a net bogey is one point, a net par is two points, a net birdie is three points, a net eagle is four points and a net double eagle is five points.  If you play to your handicap, you should have 36 points at the end of the round.

 You can make your own foursomes and begin play as early as 6:15 a.m.  The last group will tee off no later than 7:20 a.m.  If you are at the course before the last group goes off, you will be able to play.

 Hole in one pool

 The hole in one pool is frozen at $2,500.00 USD. The next person to have a “hole in one” wins that pool (multiple holes in one in the same event will split the money).  A hole in one must be on a par three hole and witnessed by all those in the foursome.  Also, the hole in one pool is only available in our Valle Del Sol tournaments and Cariari-CVGA events. 

 The new hole in one pool is now $1,323.00 and will be awarded for a hole in one after the $2,500.00 has been won.

See you on the course,
