- The age division of competition for golf scramble will be determined by the age of the youngest team member as December 31, 2025.
- Athletes may only compete on one four-person team. Teams may be same gender, but not mixed.
- It is the captain’s responsibility to declare team residency subject to NSGA approval, at the time of registration.

1. Golfers must provide their own clubs.
2. Golf cart use during practice round and official competition is mandatory.
3. PGA members may compete as long as they are not on the PGA TOUR and adhere to Rule I Definition of a Professional of the Official Sport Rules for 2025. The NSGA has the right to determine pro status.
- Teams will be made up of four players. No twosomes or threesomes allowed. Teams will be required to find their own teammates or place an ad on NSGA’s team finder web page. The NSGA and LOC WILL NOT assign golfers to teams.
- Teams will play 18 holes.
- Standard best-ball format shall be used:
- All four members of a team start by teeing off on each hole before deciding on the best shot through a consensus. The “best ball” will retain its lie while the remaining players will pick up their balls and proceed to hitting their next shot where the best ball has been determined.
- Each golfer will then hit their ball within one club length of the previously determined “best shot location” when playing shots off the green. For shots on the green, each player must play their shot within a putter’s head of where the ball came to rest.
- The team with the lowest total score for the 18-hole round shall be declared the winner.
- In the case of a tie:
- Teams in tie shall play a single playoff hole as chosen by the tournament organizer.
- If a tie still exists, the tournament organizer will select a random hole number and use a team’s lowest score on that hole to determine the winner.
- If still tied, organizers will call for progression from that hole until a tie is broken.
- The NSGA and LOC reserve the right to change the tournament format for any age division based on entry numbers, space restrictions, or other circumstance.
- Awards will be presented for 1st through 4th place for each event within each age division.
