Can't Decide -- Let's Do Both! Scramble AND Best Ball!

Morris Williams Here We Come!

"We got this!"
Last Tuesday a new member of ASGA teed off on number 2 at Lions with three seasoned ASGA members. The new member hit a bad tee shot. He called “Mulligan” and then hit a very good tee shot. Afterwards he picked up his tee and asked the other players what does ASGA call a “Mulligan”? All three members playing with him responded, “we call it 3”. It’s always good to know the rules and or ask before hitting if you aren’t sure. We had a good event at Lions. Congratulations to Rudy Aguilar for achieving the field low net score. 

Next week we’re bringing back an event last played in 2019! We’re playing a two-person team Select Shot and Best Ball at Morris Williams. It is an event in which the two players play Scramble for the first nine holes. On the second nine, they each play their own ball and record their best gross score on the hole. The team gross score is the total score for the two nines. Handicaps of 35% / 15% will be applied for a Net Score.

Good luck and remember to play Scramble/Select Shot on the front nine and Best Ball on the back nine. The best gross score of the two team members is recorded as the team score on the second nine. Your scorecard should have a single entry for each team on every hole.  And make it legible for Bill’s sake, please.

May your drives be long and straight and your approach shots dance around the flag sticks.

Respectfully,
Sand Trap
