What it is
A society-style golf day for a birthday, retirement, stag or work event. A “scramble” format lets beginners and good golfers play together: everyone tees off, the team picks the best shot and all play from there.
Plan ahead
- Two to three months before: book a society day package at a golf club (usually includes golf, breakfast and dinner).
- One month before: ask everyone their handicap or ability and make balanced teams.
- One week before: order prizes, personalised balls and a scorecard summary.
Formats
- Texas scramble: all tee off, choose the best ball, all play from there.
- Stableford: points per hole based on handicap - good for mixed abilities.
Competitions
- Nearest the pin on a par 3
- Longest drive on a straight par 4 or 5
- Booby prize for the worst score
Food and drink
- Bacon rolls and coffee at breakfast
- Halfway snacks and drinks
- Clubhouse dinner
Tips
- Hire clubs for non-golfers or add a putting competition for them.
- Check the dress code.
On the day

- Shotgun start or tee times: teams of four play a scramble.
- On-course competitions: nearest the pin and longest drive.
