🧨 FIRECRACKER SCRAMBLE 2026 KINGSWOOD 🧨
RULES & INFORMATION
Format is two person scramble.
Play will be from the Red tees or the Gold tees, the tees chosen by players for the 2026 season.
The 14 club rule is in effect
Play the ball up one club length no nearer the hole. You may not change cuts of grass, may not move from fringe to green or from rough to fairway. In the sand, the first player must play the ball as it lies; the second player may play within one club length, within the bunker, no nearer the hole.
All putts must be holed. There is no “automatic 2-putt”.
A minimum of two drives per player must be used on each of the front and back 9 holes. Please indicate these on your scorecard.
On Hole #16, you may play your first shot from the “Pro Drive” position in the fairway. Do not tee up this shot. Each player plays their own ball from the Pro Drive position. For scoring count the pro drive as shot #1. You may choose not to use the “Pro Drive” and hit from your regular tee box.
Closest-to-the-pin for each flight is included in your entry fee. We will have CTP on Holes 7 and 17.
If the ball lands in Ground Under Repair, drop one club length no nearer the hole, no penalty.
PACE OF PLAY - please keep up with the group ahead of you, watch the time and look for Genius reminders.
In case of a tie, the winners will be determined using the USGA recommended method of last 9, last 6, last 3, last 1.
SCORECARDS should be left at the table located at the fork in the cart path just below the cart shed and pro shop. BVWGC live scoring will also be used in this tournament.
Please join us immediately after play at the Bella Vista Recreation Center (BVRC) for lunch and meeting.
PLAY HAPPY!

Lynne Bowman Gets Hole-In-One!
On Tuesday, June 2 Lynne Bowman got a hole-in-one at Scotdale hole number 4! She was playing in the Tuesday Tees group with Wanda Barloon, Gracie Purvis and Myrlene Zimmerman. Lynne was using her Callaway driver and a Bridgestone golf ball. The unfortunate part...she did not pay in to the annual hole-in-one fund! On a much brigther note, this was the same hole that Lynne's late husband John got his HIO on their first date 25 years ago! That's very special.

2026 Rules Focus - Golf Etiquette
Golf is a game, emphasizing tradition, respect, and integrity. Golf etiquette is a set of unwritten rules focused on safety, respect for the course, and maintaining a steady pace of play. Key practices include repairing divots/ball marks, staying quiet and still while others hit and keeping up with the group ahead. It's also about the spirit of the game – playing with honesty, following the rules of golf, celebrating successes, and handling defeats with grace.
5 key rules:
1. Pace of Play: Keep up with the group ahead.
2. Be Quiet & Still: Stay silent and still when others are hitting
3. Course Care: Sand divots, repair your ball marks (plus one extra), limit driving on the fairway and rake bunkers.
4. Green Etiquette: Don't walk on someone's putting line; walk around it.
5. Safety & Courtesy: Yell "Fore!" loudly and immediately if you hit into other player. Be a good sport.
