4 Person Teams Golf Scramble Tournament

The four-person scramble features teams of four golfers competing against other foursomes for the lowest 18-hole score. Each team player hits from the tee box, then the team members choose the best of the four shots for the next shot. All team members then play the second shot from that location and again choose the best shot. Play continues in this manner until the hole is completed. The team then records its score and maintains this format for all 18 holes.

Gift Cards will be awarded for:

  • Team with the lowest score

  • Team with the highest score

Scramble is September 30th at Rush Creek Golf Club (The day before the MPP conference)

Tee times starting at 10AM - Specific tee times will be sent out a few days before the event.

Limited amount of clubs are available for a $25 rental fee. Contact course at 763-494-0400 to reserve.

Space available for 48
