                            TWO-PERSON SCRAMBLE FORMATBoth players will hit drives from their respective tees.  They will choose the better of their two drives and hit their next shots from that particular lie (continuing the same procedure until their balls are holed).  Only one score per hole is recorded.  The team with the lowest net total score after eighteen holes will be declared the winner of this particular round.  Low handicap: 35% and high handicap: 15% - each team will receive 50% of their combined handicap.
