Format
Team Scramble
All four players hit drives and the best shot will be selected. Each player will then play from the selected spot
Repeat this process until the ball is holed
A ball should be placed by the player in the general area within one club-length of and not nearer the hole than the original ball's position
Tees played should be between 5,400-5,800 yards and will be chosen by PGA Captain prior to round
Scoring
Each match is broken into three FLAGS
A FLAG is three holes in a row - Holes 1,2,3/4,5,6/7,8,9
Each team has the opportunity to earn points at the end of each FLAG
The team that wins more holes in a flag wins one point
If a flag ends in a tie, then each team will be awarded a half-point
The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner
Regardless of a win or loss, each team retains their total points won in a game towards their season total
The team with the most points at the end of the season will move on to play a Championship match against the other league
The score for each match will be kept by a designated official scorekeeper
The official scorekeeper is responsible for reporting the results to their Veteran Captain
Veteran Captains will send a picture of the scorecards to Shannon Gilbert at sgilbert@pgahq.com no later than the day after each match for posting on the League portal
Maximum score on a hole is "Double Par"
