March 2, 2010 -  CVGA Texas Scramble

Today we played our second Texas Scramble of 2010 and we had twenty-six (26) 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 (five) were met, and the proper scores were recorded. 

For 2010, we returned to the old scramble format where all players hit each shot after a drive is selected.  We still have the twelve stroke restriction on the players handicaps (within a team), based on the lowest handicapped player.  A 20 handicap player can play with a 4 handicap player, but the 20 would be reduced to 16 (several teams had their handicap adjusted today using this rule).  And, we still use 15% of the combined team handicap to determine the net score of each team.

Also, for 2010, 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 net handicaps from 2.1to 8.25, while the B flight ranged from 8.4 to 11.55.

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.  Finally, a normal par four or par five hole that has been temporarily change to a par three (due to any reason) does not qualify for the hole in one pool.   

The new hole in one pool is now frozen at $2,500.00 USD and will be awarded for a hole in one after the first $2,500.00 has been paid. 

The third hole in one pool is now $579.00 USD.  Starting March 9, 15 mil colones (about $28) of the third pool will be raffled each week until there is a hole in one.

See you on the course,
