7 Event Formats Scramble This format is probably the most enjoyable type of tournament because only the best shots are played and the pace of the game is very fast. All players drive, the best ball is selected and all players take their next shots from that point. The process is repeated until the ball is "holed out." The team records one score. Gross scores can be used and handicaps are not required. The scramble format promotes easier and faster scoring. Best Ball This format may be played as 2, 3, or 4 person teams. Golfers play their own ball on each hole, and the lowest score is then recorded to be the team score. This format may be played with or without a golf handicap. This is usually a fun format with a medium pace of play. Results can be calculated quickly. Skins An individual play format: a "skin" is a point given to the player with the lowest score on each individual hole. Putting Contests Elaborate 3 to 5 hole course, usually held before the tournament to attract more players and add excitement to the tournament. This can also be used to raise additional funds for charity events. Longest Drive Prize awarded for the longest drive from the tee-box (in the fairway); normally played on the course's longest par 5. Shortest Drive Prize awarded for the shortest drive off the tee-box (in the fairway); normally played on the same par 5 as the longest drive contest. Closet to the Pin Prize awarded for the shot that comes to rest closest to the pin--played on a par 3. Straightest Drive A white line is placed down the middle of the fairway. The drive off the tee that comes to rest closest to the line is the winner; normally played on the course's last par 5. Longest Putt Prize awarded to the person who makes the longest putt on a specific green. This is typically played on a low handicap par 4. These contests are common among many outings. Upon request, the Tournament Sales Director can suggest creative contests, which will make your event both unique and memorable.
