One Man Scramble - The Definition

What is the One Man Scramble?

The One Man Scramble is an exciting new format that gives golfers a chance to correct their mistakes during tournament competition. During each round of golf, every golfer has faced one or more shots that they wished they could hit over again, or in golf vernacular, “take a mulligan.” The One Man Scramble allows golfers to hit 2 mulligans on every hole. This format will generate extremely low scores and the pressure will be on each competitor to “go low” just to have a chance to be a winner.

After 3 years and over 9,000 competitive rounds the One Man Scramble format is set to go national in 2008. The new “Double Mulligan” format features 2 mulligans per hole and is the perfect combination for low scores, faster play and brings an element of strategy to the championship that was missing in the traditional mulligan on every shot that was used in previous years.

The “Double Mulligan” format received rave reviews from amateurs and professionals alike at the 2007 Major Championship events held in Northern and Southern California. With the average winning score being 12 shots under a player’s handicap, the format proved to be as exciting as ever in the Men’s, Women’s and Sr. Men’s divisions.

Also new for 2008 will be the addition of a Net champion to go along with the Gross champion. The top (2) Gross and top (2) Net winners from each Local Qualifier will advance to a Regional Championship, where players will compete against other winners from Local events. 

Here are some shots that will become more “golfer-friendly” using the One Man Scramble format:
  • Flop shots
  • Downhill putts on slick greens
  • Tee shots over hazards and/or doglegs
  • Trouble shots from trees and hazards
  • Shots played in windy conditions where “misclubs” can be corrected
