Tournament Format & Regulations

The tournament will be set as a four man, best ball scramble.  Since there is no conceivable way to monitor all groups, we ask that scoring be reflective of your “true” score.  We are playing for charity…  The following basic rules will apply to the 18 holes of play:

• Men must hit from the standard, or 3^rd farthest tee box on all holes, regardless of handicap.
• Women may choose to hit from the ladies tees, or from the standard tee box.
• Each person must use at least 2 drives from the tee box, no exceptions.
• Normal rules of golf, and those particular to this course will apply.  Please obey all hazard and out-of-bounds markings.
• Players will choose the best, or most suitable, ball to strike from the tee, keeping in mind each player’s drive must be used at least 3 times.  Each successive player may then “drop” their ball within two club lengths of the best shot for their next shot, dropping no closer to the pin from the original ball placement.  This will continue to the green where each person will put, if necessary, from the best ball location on the green.
• The score for each hole will reflect the number of shots to make it into the hole after using the best-shot choice.
• There will be a longest drive, longest putt, and closet to the pin contest for prizes to be given away at the banquet.  Players that make the best, or longest shot on these holes will mark their name on the card provided at the hole, or on the fairway.
• We ask that all golfers respect the golf course attendants and resort workers.  We also ask that all golfers respect the homeowners around the Orange Tree Resort, as this event is representative of everyone involved.  Lets make this a memorable event for everyone involved!
