Team Scramble: A Format for Excitement

Each local National Kidney Foundation Cadillac Golf Classic Tournament is conducted using a four-person team scramble format, following USGA Handicap Index Requirements. Each team member tees off, and the best drive is selected. All four players then play from that spot. This process continues until the hole is completed. Each team must use at least three drives from each player during the course of the round. The team with the lowest gross score wins.

The team scramble format provides everyone—men and women, scratch golfers, and high handicappers—an opportunity to win valuable prizes and possibly an invitation to Pebble Beach.
