3. Team Composition: Teams consist of four players. If you don't have a full team, individual registrations will be used to make four player teams.
4. Handicaps: Handicaps will not be used in this scramble format.
5. Mulligans: Each player can purchase up to three mulligans. Each mulligan will cost a player 20 USD. Use them wisely to improve your team's shot selection. Remember, all proceeds go to the IRF Fellowship Program!
