DRIVER SHAMBLE (PRO-AM TOURNAMENT FORMAT)

Objective:

Combine the best team drive with individual play, rewarding both teamwork and the professional’s guidance.

Format Overview;

All players (1 Pro + 3 Amateurs) tee off on every hole.
The team selects the best drive, usually from any player (Pro included).
From that spot, each player plays their own ball until it’s holed.

Note:

Each Amateur MUST contribute a minimum of 3 Tee Shots.

Failure to meet this requirement with a result of a deduction of 2 Stableford Points per miss drive from the Team’s Total Points.

Team Scoring:

Mixed Stableford (Net)

Convert each player’s score to Stableford NET points, take the best 2 points per hole.

Handicap Adjustment:

Tournament handicap (THCP) is usually 70% of player’s Playing handicap (PHCP)!

Max handicap limit for Men is 36 & for Ladies 42.

Pace of Play:

Quicker than full individual play.
Keeps all amateurs engaged.
Allows the pro to coach and enjoy the round without dominating the team score.
