Madison Golf Events - Two Player Scramble

The Two Player Scramble Returns for 2025!

Get ready to tee it up—our ever-popular Two Player Scramble is back for 2025! After a fantastic turnout and enthusiastic feedback over the past few years, we’re excited to once again bring players together for this fun, competitive, and inclusive co-ed event.

This scramble is open to all two-player teams, regardless of gender combination. Whether you're teaming up with a friend, spouse, or fellow club member, it’s all about strategy, teamwork, and enjoying a great day on the course.

Format & Play

The event will be played in a classic scramble format:

• Both players tee off.
• The team selects the best shot.
• Both players then play from that spot.
• Repeat until the ball is holed!

It’s a fun, fast-paced format that welcomes all skill levels and emphasizes collaboration and shot-making.

Gross & Net Divisions

This event features both Gross and Net scoring divisions:

• Players with a valid handicap are eligible to compete in the Net division.
• No handicap? No problem! You’re still welcome to play in the Gross division and experience all the excitement.

Handicap Calculations

To ensure fair play, team handicaps are calculated using the following formula:

• 35% of the A player’s (lower handicap) playing handicap
• 15% of the B player’s (higher handicap) playing handicap

Example:

• Player A has an 8 handicap → 35% = 3 (rounded)
• Player B has a 21 handicap → 15% = 3 (rounded)
• Team Handicap = 6

Tee Assignments

• Men: Blue Tees
• Women: Gold Tees

We also offer an intermediate tee option (White Tees) for greater accessibility:

• Available to any player 60+ years old with a 3.0+ index, or any player with a 15.0+ handicap, regardless of age.
• Note: Choosing to play from the White Tees may result in a reduction of 2 to 4 strokes from your course handicap, in accordance with USGA Handicap Rule 6.1.
