STEP-ASIDE SCRAMBLE TOURNAMENT
PLAY: 18-Hole Tournament at Nancy Lopez Golf Course
DATE: Sunday, March 30, 2025 - Afternoon Tee Times
COST: $10.00 Per Person (plus green fee)
STEP-ASIDE is a scramble tournament that requires 4 players and the committee will makeup the teams based on your Ghin or Quota Points.
Play ready golf! Keep up with the group in front of you. If you fall behind you will be asked to close the gap in front of you. If you cannot close the gap you will be asked to skip a hole and record a double bogey.
- The game is played as such. All players tee off from the designated tee box that you normally play from. (Ghin or Quota Points required).
- The team agrees on the best drive and only the 3 players whose drives were NOT used take the next shot. This continues all the way until the ball is holed.
- For a threesome, a ghost is used in rotation for the round, and the ghost is considered 1 of the 4 players and must have the required number of drives used. The second ball hit by the ghost player is always the ghost ball.
- Each player must use his/her drive for at least 3 holes for the team total, including the ghost.

Florida Cup
Every year one of Florida’s ASGA chapters hosts THE FLORIDA CUP. The September 2022 event was hosted by The Sarasota Chapter at the Streamsong Resort in Bowling Green, Florida. There were two tournaments each day: the Florida Cup competition and the scramble/shamble. Three Florida chapters of ASGA competed in the tournament with a 6 man and 6 woman team. All other golfers played in a scramble/shamble format each day for prizes in a mixed chapter foursome.
The Villages chapter won! (See more pictures on the photo page.)
The Florida Cup play between the chapters has been suspended for the indefinite future.
