Baltimore's Classic Five to hold winter scramble golf outings, beginning Feb. 6

BALTIMORE, Md. – Baltimore Municipal Golf Corporation (BMGC), also known as Baltimore’s Classic Five, will host a series of scramble golf outings this winter, beginning with the Summer’s Over Scramble on Saturday, February 6 at Clifton Park Golf Course.

The Summer’s Over Scramble will begin with a 8:30 a.m. shotgun start and be played using an 18-hole, two-person scramble format. The outing will also feature surprises including Risk Reward holes throughout the course that will reward golfers for accuracy, and a Texas Hold ‘Em station at the first tee that will allow golfers to move up to a special tee placement if they beat the starter in a hand of poker.

Registration for the Summer’s Over Scramble outing is now open. For teams of two, a $100 entry fee includes greens fees, carts, breakfast, lunch and prizes. Space is limited.

“We are really excited to offer these scramble golf outings this winter season,” said Jon Ladd, BMGC’s Executive Director. “These outings enable golfers to have fun while playing golf during the off-season, as snow is the only weather condition that would cancel the scramble.”

Other upcoming winter outings at BMGC courses include:

· Jack Frost Scramble: Saturday, February 20 at Mount Pleasant Golf Course

· Goodbye Winter Scramble: Saturday, March 5 at Pine Ridge Golf Course

· Superintendent’s Revenge Scramble: Saturday, March 19 at Forest Park Golf Course
