Year End Scramble:

The League Scramble is scheduled for August 29^th. Teams will play together, and teams will be handicapped using tournament handicapping for scrambles. Players will tee off and select best drive, then each player will finish their own ball. At least one drive must be used by each player. Two lowest scores will be posted on each hole. Team captains please let the secretary know your preference on early or late tee times and if you will be having any subs. Tee times will begin on the front nine at 2:45 and run through 4:42.

Just a reminder that the Year End Scramble is a pre-paid night. All league members have already paid their greens fees for this night. As such, Treasurer Chuck Reckers will be paying California Golf Course 64 greens fees for that night.

1) For the semi-finalists, the League will pay your semi-final (front 9) greens fees. You will pay California the marginal fee for the extra nine holes and cart fee, if applicable. Ultimately, you will be playing 18 holes on August 29, either as a finalist on the back nine or a scrambler on the front nine. (Note: the 9-hole gift certificate can be used for the extra 9 holes.)

2) For the other 12 league teams, your greens fees for the scramble have been paid to the League already. All you need to do is pay the course for cart fee, if applicable.

3) Skins, greenies, and long putt contests will be on a Team basis ($20.00). Sign-up sheet will be in the briefcase.
