The Halloween Scramble is specifically designed to provide a fun and welcoming experience to all participating. The event is specially designed to promote inclusivity for those on the program and their friends who may or may not have golf experience. The event is a team based event where attendees participate in a team of 4. Guidance is provided for how teams should be compiled, but there is flexibility based on the needs of your club. Participating juniors in your program should be targeted from those enrolled on your Junior Weekly Classes, Junior Camps or from previous Social Play events. Juniors should be encouraged to invite a friend to the event and then form into a team of 4 with another pair. The event runs in a traditional Scramble format across the adapted course where all four players on a team hit drives. The best shot is selected, and each player plays from that selected spot. This process continues until the ball is holed. The events should be run over a maximum of 9 holes on your adapted course. It is recommended that you setup each hole as a Par 3. This set-up allows everyone to play from the same "tee", improves pace of play, and creates a fun and inclusive atmosphere for all skill levels. The event is recommended to be chargeable to participants under a recommended pricing guidance depending on the internal classification of your club. You should aim to theme your event by encouraging juniors to dress up in their favourite costume! The Halloween Scramble is one of the four Social Play Events and is integral to the success of the JGA Junior Program at your club. It differentiates itself from other Social Play Events by focusing on integrating new juniors into the club by mobilising current juniors to invite friends to attend the event. The event is specifically aimed at welcoming participating juniors' friendship circles to engage in the event. This will drive confidence and enjoyment of those already in the program to harness retention and drive future involvement in the program from non participating juniors. The event will provide juniors engaged in your program with a chance to play the golf course using adapted rules and fun formats. This will drive their love for playing the game and their development. It will also provide those new to the program with a fun first experience. The Halloween scramble will promote social connections across those already enrolled on the programs by providing an opportunity to meet juniors from other programs who may be attending. The event will help to provide a welcoming environment to juniors and their families. The themed event will create a relaxed atmosphere, showing that your program and club is welcoming to all. The event theme and format will promote a fun experience of playing and participating above all else. Juniors and coaches should be encouraged to dress up and embrace the event theme!

This will drive confidence and enjoyment of those already on the program and drive future involvement. When marketing your event you should specifically focus on appealing firstly to current juniors on your program. These can be juniors enrolled on your Junior Weekly classes, those that have previously attended Junior Camps, or another Social Play event. Juniors should then be encouraged to invite a non participating junior to the event. Ideally, a participating junior would invite a friend to form a pair. They would then be joined with another pair to make a team of four. The event isn't designed to include family members to play but they should actively be encouraged to attend the event and join in the fun theme. They can watch at a safe distance on the course, and attend the event award ceremony. While we are prescribing a recommended structure for the Halloween Scramble event, we understand that the exact implementation of your event will vary from club to club. This will depend on the number of participants that you can reach in your local area and the facilities you have available. You will also have your own ideas for how you deliver a successful and fun event at your club! There are some additional guidelines you need to follow and areas where you have flexibility in delivery at your club. The event has been built to target juniors within the age ranges of 6-16. Younger juniors should be invited to take part in family games before or after the round if you decide to run these. The event is ideally targeted towards juniors currently enrolled on the program and friends who have limited or no experience of playing. The event should be targeted at a participating junior on your program inviting a non participating friend to take part. Pairs should be then joined with another pair to make a team of four. It will be your skill to judge the ability of those taking part and join them up with another pair to ensure the event is competitive, but enjoyable for all involved.

You are the best judge to make a decision on how to best deliver the event to suit the needs of your club and program. You have the flexibility to decide if you want to tailor who the event is targeted towards, but you should maintain a focus on introducing non participating juniors to the event. Your event will be best delivered over a shotgun start. The event should be run over a maximum of 9 holes. You should therefore aim to fill 36 places, with 18 participating juniors and 18 non participating juniors.
