Both members obviously will need to be in the same foursome. If you don’t choose, we can assign a partner for you. The scramble will be played in teams of two, and you can choose your own partner. If there are less than 5 players opting for Low Gross, there will not be a recognized winner. Players need to choose either low gross play or scramble before starting the round. Alternately, players can choose to play in the new scramble format.

It will be played by strict rules of golf, and the low score wins. The low gross competition will still continue for anyone who wishes to compete for it.

With this in mind, we’ve tried to create a new scoring system, ditching the Callaway completely. The best answer to this would be to play against handicaps, however, a lot of people in this tournament are not regular players and do not have a regular handicap. It tended to bunch the scores together, but not significantly change their ranking. While we put some handicaps in for the back of the pack, including capping the score at three over par and implementing the Callaway system, this hasn’t prevented the same core group of people from winning every year, While there were exceptions, the Callaway system tended to reward inconsistent players and still did not provide the worst golfers a real chance at winning. Over the years, players have gotten better and worse, and the gap between the best and the worst has grown. We were all relatively similar in golfing ability, and the hope was that someone different might win each year. When the Kennedy Cup was created, our goal was a fun day out with family.
