A Comprehensive Guide to Creating Scramble Events on Golfify

Scramble events are a popular format for charity and corporate golf days, offering a relaxed, team-oriented experience that accommodates players of all skill levels. Golfify's app streamlines the process of setting up and managing these events, making it easier for hosts to focus on the fun and competition. This guide provides a step-by-step overview of how to create and manage a scramble event on Golfify.

1. Understanding the Scramble Format

A scramble is a team-based event where each player in a group hits a tee shot, and the best shot is selected. All players then play from that spot, with the process repeating until the hole is completed. This format is forgiving, promotes team camaraderie, and is well-suited for events that use a shotgun start.

2. Setting Up Your Event on Golfify

Starting the Process

Initiate a New Event: On the home screen of Golfify, tap the plus button and select a single round event.
Choosing the Format: You have the option to start from scratch or select from predefined formats. Under the fixed team games section, options for pair scramble and four person scramble are available. For larger groups, the four-person scramble is ideal.

Customizing Event Details

Round Information:

Assign a name to your round.
Set the start date and time.
Configure the number of players per team (default is eight, but this can be adjusted).

Shotgun Start Option:

Toggle on the shotgun start, which automatically assigns a starting hole for each group. This can be fine tuned later in the player manager.
