Exactly like a normal scramble; but after all four players tee off and pick the best drive, the person whose shot is chosen has to sit out the next stroke. You keep repeating this cycle for every shot leading up to the hole. Once your team reaches the green, the rule drops and all four players get to putt.
Every team receives one green ball at check-in, and it must be returned with your signed scorecard. Lose it in the water, woods, or the abyss and your team takes an immediate 5-stroke penalty. Replacement balls are sold at Buy-Back stations on course to keep you in contention.
Each player's tee shot must be used at least four times over the 18 holes. Your team's designated Marker logs every drive on the Drive Tracker built into the scorecard. Spread the load - no carrying.
Every team is randomly paired with another team and serves as its Marker. You keep their score; they keep yours. Cards must be signed by the Marker at the end of each round.
Scores are entered at on-course scoring stations and posted to a live spreadsheet linked to every player. All scores must be reported before leaving the green.
Collared shirts, no denim. You're representing the profession. Plus, you might be holding a $5,000 check by the end of the day.

Every player gets a cart and range balls for the round, 18 holes at Apple Tree, a BBQ buffet after play, entry to all four on-course contests, and a premium swag bag valued at $50+. A significant portion of your fee also goes to the LSAW Cascade Columbia Outreach Development Fund.
Not this year. The 2026 Gauntlet is full-team only. If you're short a player or two, post in the LSAW Cascade Columbia members channel and we'll help you fill out a foursome before registration closes.
All four players tee off, the team picks the best shot, but whoever hit it sits out the next stroke. The remaining three play on until the ball reaches the green, where all four players may putt. It adds a layer of strategy and makes sure everyone's skills get tested.
Your team takes an immediate 5-stroke penalty, but you aren't out of the game. Buy-Back stations on the course sell replacement balls so you can stay in the running for the $5,000 purse. Limit 4 buy-backs per team.
Three safeguards. Paired Scoring: every team is randomly paired with another team, who acts as your Marker and keeps your score. Live Scoring: all scores are entered at on-course scoring stations and posted to a live spreadsheet linked to every player. Verified Cards: every scorecard must be signed by the Marker at the end of each round.
Ties for a top-three position are broken by a one-hole playoff on Hole 18, played immediately after the round. Only the teams involved in that specific tie will compete; teams with an outright position do not participate.
Standard golf attire: collared shirts, no denim. You're representing the profession, and you might be holding a $5,000 check by the end of the day, so look sharp.
One mulligan will be offered for purchase per team at each check-in station for $50. Players can use or hold their mulligan tokens as they see fit. Check-in stations will be set up throughout the course. A total of four mulligans per team will be allowed. Mulligans may only be used off the tee box - when a Marker can collect the mulligan token. If you attempt to use a mulligan in the fairway or on the putting green you will automatically be disqualified. Mulligan tokens will be collected at scoring stations.
