THE MOOK- ONE PERSON SCRAMBLE

The rules are basically the same as in a standard four-person scramble with one big difference – this is an individual format.

One Mulligan Format – Each player will be allowed to hit one (1) “mulligan” on each hole. A mulligan can be used on any shot from the tee through the green, including putts. Players will choose their best shot and mark the ball within one club-length (no closer to the hole) and continue play from that point. Players may not use the one club-length to extricate themselves from a hazard, bunker, or rough. Players may not use the one club-length to move onto the putting surface. All shots will be played as “Winter Rules” (lift, clean, and place). An unused mulligan cannot be “carried over” to the next hole, is it or lose it. The decision to use a mulligan must be made immediately at the point from which each shot was taken.

Maximum Score – Maximum score allowed on a hole is GROSS double bogey. Once a player has missed both attempts at bogey, they are finished with that hole and receive a score of
two-over par.

Scramble Strategies – Every player knows their own strengths and weaknesses as a golfer. Players will have plenty of opportunities to correct their mistakes but they will be faced with decisions many times during the round of when to use them. Players that hit an “acceptable” drive or lay-up, for example, may choose to save the mulligans for the approach shot or the chip and / or putt.

Bunkers – If a player uses a mulligan in a bunker, they must place the second ball within one club-length as long as the ball stays in the bunker, and the bunker may be raked before placing the second ball.

How do the mulligans work? – You hit a drive and if you like it, you don’t have to hit another one. You go to your ball, and just like in a regular scramble, you put a tee in the ground to mark your spot, clean off the ball, and place it back down within one club-length, and hit the shot. If you hit a mulligan, you place the ball and hit another shot from the same area. You then choose the better ball of the two. You DO NOT have to play the mulligan if the original shot was better. Remember, only one (1) mulligan per hole, and NO carrying over unused mulligans to the next hole.
