2025 Mason Open: Twin Lakes Golf Club   |   Friday May 02, 2025

Scramble Rules

Tee Shots

  • Each player hits a tee shot on every hole.
    • White tees (Men)
    • Red (Women & Seniors)
  • The team selects the best shot, and all players hit from that spot.
  • Players may place their ball within one club length of the selected shot, no closer to the hole.
  • If the chosen ball is in a hazard, bunker, rough, or other penalty area, it must be played as it lies.

Playing Subsequent Shots

  • After selecting the best shot, each player plays their next shot from within one club length of the marked spot.
  • This process continues until the ball is holed.
  • On the green, balls must be placed within one putter head length of the selected ball’s location.

Putting Rules

  • Once a ball is holed, the score is final—no additional putts are allowed.
  • If the selected putt is missed, all remaining players attempt their putt from the same spot.

Minimum Drive Requirement

  • Each team must use at least one tee shot from each player per nine holes (two total per player for the round).

Scoring & Flights

  • Teams will submit a scorecard at the end of the round.
  • The tournament will be scored using two flights based on total team scores:
    • Flight 1: Top half of teams with the lowest scores.
    • Flight 2: Remaining teams.
  • Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 teams in each flight.
  • In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by a scorecard playoff starting with the hardest-ranked hole on the course.

Mulligans

  • Mulligans may be purchased before the round (details provided at check-in).
  • Each team member may use a maximum of two mulligans per round.
  • Mulligans cannot be used on contest holes (e.g., longest drive, closest to the pin).

On-Course Contests

  • Men’s Longest Drive – Hole 16
  • Women’s Longest Drive – Hole 18
  • Closest to the Pin – Hole 5
  • Straightest Drive – Hole 9
  • Hole-in-One Contest ($10,000 Prize) – Hole 8
  • Pre-Start Putting Contest – Green near clubhouse, 7:00 AM – 8:45 AM

Additional Rules

  • Pace of Play: Teams are expected to keep up with the group ahead and maintain a steady pace.
  • Out of Bounds: Standard course rules apply. Drop ball at the nearest playable spot with a one-stroke penalty.
  • Sportsmanship: Players are expected to conduct themselves with integrity and respect for others.
