5) What is the format?
The format we will use is the 4-Man Scramble. On each hole, everyone on your team will tee off. You then decide whose ball is in the best location for your second shot. The other 3 golfers pick up their ball and place it within a club length of the ball you chose to hit next. You continue this way until you finish the hole.

7) What if I want to play but don’t have a team?
If you want to play, but don’t have a team, we definitely have a spot for you. We will try our best to make sure everyone gets on a team of four people. So, whether it is just one, two or three of you, we’ll get you on a team.

9) What happens if there is bad weather?
While we are certainly praying for beautiful weather and sunny clear skies, we do live in the south where the weather is unpredictable. In the event of bad weather, each golfer will receive a certificate for 18 holes at Rock Creek to be used at their convenience. All prizes will be distributed by drawings, and dinner will still be served in the Club House at Rock Creek.
