Like golf? Feeling like a ham? Then attend the Taiyo Golf Club Holiday Ham Scramble on December 9! Although summer golf is great, there’s no better time to play the game on Okinawa than early winter when the air is cool and crisp. The entry fee for the Ham Scramble is $30 per player. Prospective participants need to register by December 6. This event will be a four-person scramble played with 10 percent of the team’s combined handicap. What's a four-person scramble you ask? Team players will hit from the tee and the best shot will be selected. The players will then play the next shot from the position of the selected ball, placing each ball within 12 inches of where the selected ball lies (no closer to the pin). This procedure is continued until the completion of each hole. Make sense? (cont. on page 3)
