The 18 Hole Scotchie is a Two-Player Team, one male & one female, scheduled for Friday, August 18, with tee times starting at 10:00 a.m.  Players have the option to pick their own partner, or they can sign up in the Golf Shop on their own and staff will do their best to find you a partner.  What is a Scotchie? Good question.  Format goes like this; Both players tee off, men from the white tees’ women from the green, the team then selects one of those two shots and alternates hitting the one ball until a single ball is holed out for one team score.  That process is followed on every hole, with no required number of tee shots per player.  The event is a net tournament, with tee team handicaps being the two individual handicaps of the players combined and divided in two.  So, if there is a 15-handicap player and a 17-handicap player that would be 15 + 17 = 32 32/2 = 16.  That would be that team’s handicap.  Players will post their 18-hole score and the team handicap is subtracted.  It is much less complicated than it sounds.  On the course individuals closest to the pin contests on all the par 3 holes, men’s, and women’s long drive.  Coffee and donuts are available for all players before the round, along with range balls for quick warm up.  After golf, or during, players can pick up their box lunch. 

Once all the teams are in the Golf Shop staff will post the scores and the winners.  The number of team prizes given out is determined by the number of teams that are participating.  The more players the more teams will receive team prizes.  It’s a fun day of golf, food, and friends.
