Scramble Format: Each team member will hit a tee shot and the team selects the best shot and all play from that spot.  All players hit the next shot, the best shot is selected and all players play from that spot, and so on until the ball is holed out.  A minimum of 2 tee shots must be used by each member.

 

 

Cost is $88 ($98 after 9/15 if space is available) and includes green fee, cart, water, snacks, and lunch.

Kathy Kirkpatrick won closest to the pin on hole #15.  The 71 yard uphill par 3.  Kathy also won fewest putts!

While none of our members received an award, they all had a very memorable time! 

 

Jane Taylorson wrote: "It was a wonderful experience.  I played with 3 really terrific women and we had a great time on the course and hung out a bit during the tournament, and I met a number of others over the course of 4 days and they were all warm, chatty, and funny.  Most of them (and me) were just thrilled to have made it to the finals.  And Tennessee is a very, very friendly state - there really is such a thing as southern hospitality!  The people working at the golf course were very women-friendly; not just "not negative" but genuinely helpful, smiling, responsive to requests.  I can't believe that I actually thought seriously about missing this experience - I almost didn't sign up for the Chapter Championship!  And I whined about having to go to Tennessee!!"

 

Gloria Speth wrote: "I had a tremendous learning experience being the Captain of the NE Bay Scramble team.  Being able to play the best that you can on a team is an experience in itself.  The decision that you make in what is the best advantage, may not be what everyone wants, makes you take responsibility for how it turns out.  This also happens in life.  I had a great time and appreciated the wonderful hospitality that Tennessee gave us.  I believe we all came back as winners because we were at the Nationals!  Let's bring it on at the next Nationals in Aloha, Oregon!"
