How to Play a "DBN Team Scramble"
To play fast, encourage teamwork and enable all levels to participate, we typically play a "Back 9" round in a special format.
~ if you made birdie, move back one tee box;
~ if you made eagle (or better), tee off from the championship tees;
~ if you made bogie, move up one tee box (but no closer than the middle tees)
- Teams of 2, 3 or 4 play scramble style (each person hits a ball, then all players pick up their ball and play from the best shot, etc);
- Use the Modified Stableford scoring method, with teams scoring 0 points for a par, 2 for a birdie, 5 for an eagle and losing a point for bogie;
- When you reach the green (not the fringe), your team gets a total of 4 putts (each player must putt at least 1). If you miss all of them, the second putt is conceded;
- A bogie is the worst your team can do on hole;
- We use a "moving tee" method. Start your round on the middle tee box. After each hole, use the following rules to determine the tee box to use on the next hole:
~ if you made birdie, move back one tee box;
~ if you made eagle (or better), tee off from the championship tees;
~ if you made bogie, move up one tee box (but no closer than the middle tees)
