We are playing a 4-person scramble with a shotgun start.
A shotgun start is a way of starting a golf tournament with all golfers beginning play at the same time. Each time is assigned a different starting hole. We are playing 9 holes total which means if you start on hole 2 you end on hole 1, if you start on hole 3 you end on hole 2, etc.
In a scramble, each player tees off on each hole. The best of the tee shots is selected and all players play their second shots from that spot. The best of the second shots is determined, then all play their third shots from that spot, and so on until the ball is holed.
Maximum strokes per hole is 8. If you reach 8 strokes, record 8 on your score card and move to the next hole.
Prize holes: #2 –
