Registration for this Member Day is done through an online lottery system. Click here to review a step-by-step guide on how to enter the lottery for this or any Member Day.
Specific to the Doubles format, players may register either 1 or 3 additional Mass Golf Members. If entering for a foursome (3 additional players), the registrant will have to designate the two separate teams in the foursome during registration if drawn in the lottery (not during lottery entry).
18-hole Doubles Format (Two-Player Team Scramble).
This event will not use the normal Member Day Divisions. Instead, tees will be set as below:
Doubles Golf® uses the two-player “Better Shot” format. Teams of two follow the process below:
Tee Shots:
Both players tee off from the teeing ground, and the team selects the preferred ball for their next shot.
Lift, Clean, and Place (One Club-Length):
After selecting the ball, it is marked. Each player may lift, clean, and place their ball within one club-length, no closer to the hole.
Lie Improvement Limitations:
A ball may be moved from rough to fairway using the one club-length rule; however, free relief may not be used to move a ball out of a penalty area, out of a bunker, or onto a green.
On the Green:
Once the team reaches the green, the selected ball is marked, and players may place their ball within one club-head of the mark, in any direction, no closer to the hole.
Handicap Indexes will be computed using the September 28, 2026 revision.
Member Days are open to anyone with an active Mass Golf Membership and Handicap Index®; no maximum Handicap Index requirement.
All players must register via the online lottery system (click here to learn more). Based on the number of teams and the range of combined team handicaps, Mass Golf reserves the right to flight the field for competition purposes.
