There are 3 specific areas on which each team will be scored
to determine the Traditions of Golf Challenge Champion: playing
ability (four-person scramble), knowledge of golf’s rules
and history (Traditions), and overall etiquette. Each participating
community will divide their team into two separate foursomes.
Each foursome will play 9 holes one day and caddie 9 holes the
other day. Each day, the playing foursome will keep a traditional
scramble score while the caddies will earn a birdie, par or
bogey on each hole by answering questions on golf’s rules
and history. Each team, coaches included, will be supervised
by on-course officials to determine an etiquette score for each
hole.
At the completion of 9 holes, each team will
have 1) a nine hole playing score, 2) a nine hole “Traditions”
score and 3) a nine hole etiquette score. These three totals
will be added together to determine a team’s overall
score for the day. The overall nine hole score from day 1
will then be combined with the score from day 2 to determine
the Traditions of Golf Challenge Champion.
