Scoring & Format

Golf Fun Day is played on two, 18-hole courses: Philadelphia Country Club and the Gulph Mills Golf Club.

Scorecards can be found on your golf carts with details of your starting course and hole.

The scoring system for the event will be a SHAMBLE – One team score is recorded for the foursome.

It works like this:

  1. Each member of the team drives from every tee.

  2. The team of golfers selects the one best drive among them after teeing off, then all four play their own golf balls from that position into the hole.

  3. Each team member’s drive must be used a minimum of two times. Use the scorecard to record whose drive has been used for each hole.

  4. The team’s gross score is recorded on the scorecard. (In the case of a threesome, one player is designated per hole to play the extra ball.)

We kindly ask that to keep pace with the group ahead. Players who are out of the hole pick up their ball.

Please turn in your COMPLETED scorecard at the Pro Shop, immediately following play.
