Boomers Rock Golf Scramble (09/27/2026)

Sun, 27 Sep 2026 21:00:00 GMT

BOOMERS GOLF

Save the Dates—Boomers Golf Scramble

Mark your calendars and get your clubs ready! Here are the upcoming dates for Boomers Rock (BR) Golf Scrambles. Registration will open approximately one month in advance of the date. BR Golf Scramble is 9 holes of play followed by a social hour afterwards to give prizes away and get to know everyone. Registration will be on the Boomers Rock website. You will need to provide your 9 hole average score on the specific course we are playing when registering.

Teams are made up of 4 players or 3 players with a Bubba when necessary to have every team’s handicap about the same. Similar to last year, you can play with your spouse or friend. The scramble is limited to the first 60 golfers, so don’t wait to RSVP. The cut-off date to register is midnight on Tuesday before the golf scramble is played on Sunday.

Let’s keep the energy high and make these rounds memorable. There’s a $5 fee for prizes, including closest to the pin on holes specific for men and women. Players are responsible for the cost of their own golf fees.

The rules: Each member of the foursome must have (1) drive per 9 holes. Regardless of age, men will hit from the silver tees and women will alternate between the orange and gold tees. There is a 2-putt max once you are on the green and we will not play out of sand traps this year.

When tee times are scheduled, you will receive an email confirmation from Central Tee Times stating the time and the golf members in your group. If two groups are on a particular hole, it will state A or B beside the number. Note: The golf dept computer software was changed to only show start times to reserve the tees as place holders. However, our golf scramble events are now only shotgun starts at 4 PM.

**Important** If you have to cancel after registering, you must contact Gary Cason by midnight on the Thursday before the scramble is played on Sunday afternoon. Any cancellations past this date without an emergency or health-related excuse will be unacceptable and you will no longer be able to play in the remaining BR golf scramble events for the current season. Pairings are done in advance, and cancellations cause more work by shuffling other teams the last minute. I appreciate your support on this matter but we still want everyone to have fun playing in the golf scrambles.

March 22nd - PONCE (9 holes/4pm, shotgun start)

April 26th - MAGELLAN (9 holes/4pm SG start)

May 17th - GRANADA (9 holes/2pm tee time start )

June 28th - DESOTO (9 holes/4pm SG start)

July 26th - PONCE (9 holes/4pm tee SG start) *RESCHEDULED FOR AUG 23RD*

August 23rd - BALBOA (9 holes/4pm SG start)

September 27th - MAGELLAN (9 holes/4pm SG start)

November 1st- CORONADO (18 holes/1pm SG start)

If you have questions, you can always contact us. Looking forward to meeting all of you this year.
