 | Ehrlichia OpenVanderbilt Department of MedicineThe 6th Annual Ehrlichia Open Golf Tournament | | | | Vanderbilt Legends Club, Franklin, TN. http://www.vanderbiltlegendsclub.com | | Date | Sunday May 31, 2009 | | Times | Warm up, quick lesson, registration, receive golf shirt, hat, and balls, mingle 12:00pm-1:00pm. | | Start | 1:00pm shotgun start (this means every team goes to a designated tee box and we all start teeing off at the 1:00pm). | | Format | A scramble event...each player on the team hits from the tee box once, the best shot as determined by the team members is where the next shot is played from. Each player hits again, the best shot is determined and the process repeats until THE BALL GOES IN THE HOLE. | | Origin | Download a PDF |
Rules of engagement | | 1) | Every player must use his/her tee shot at least ONCE (i.e. Jim Jirjis needs to get one ball down the middle out of 18 tee shots...) | | 2) | The ball can be placed on a favorable lie within one club length of where the tee shot has landed (includes plucking a ball from beneath a tree, rock or man made obstacle). | | 3) | Once on the green, you must putt from a marked position on the green, the 'scrambling' process continues until a team member putts the BALL IN THE HOLE (see item 4). | | 4) | There are no GIMMIES. However, if each player can't hole out after two tries (eight tries total), you should probably pick up and move on to keep play moving. If you pick up, mark your scorecard double bogey (+2). | | 5) | The team's score for the hole is recorded on the SCORECARD. | | 6) | There are going to be golf balls flying all over the place, so consider a hard hat. | | 7) | There is NO SEARCHING for a ball that will not assist you in obtaining the lowest score on the hole. | | 8) | Everyone will tee off from the white tees (the "established" men's tees/pro women golfer's tees). On hole #10, everyone hits from the red tees. | | 9) | Please replace divots with the margarita salt/green sand mixture you will find on your cart. | | 10) | It is not allowed to rain. |
