Capitol City Shamble

03/24/2011 11:00 am

First Tournament of the 2011 Season!  Thursday, March 24, 2011.  Tee times start at 11:00 am. 

Based on the great response from last year's tournament, we're bringing back the Shamble format.  (hmmm, we didn't check if those who liked the format so much were last year's winners...)

Break out those golf clubs and dust off the cobwebs.  Weather is alittle cool, but find a driving range with heaters to make you feel like you're in Hawaii and not Seattle.

Last day to RSVP is March 12th!  Hurry, spots will fill up quickly!

A long time FHGC favorite.  Usually played early in the season because it's one of the drier courses in the state.  Winds through a residential area.  Good course to get your game going. 

Shamble

Each player tees off.  The team selects which tee shot to use.  Each team member hits from that location.  After the second shot, everyone plays their own ball until holed out.  Putt everything out, NO GIMMES.  One club length from original position. You must play from the same lie.  If you are in the rough, all players must hit from the rough.  If you are on the fringe of the green, you must keep on the fringe.  If your team chooses a ball in a hazard, all have to hit from the hazard.

Each player must use at least 3 drives per 18 holes.  One player can hit a maximum 7 tee balls.

Since everyone hits from the tee on each hole, KP and Long Drive holes will be used.
