Frostbite Scramble

Events

11:59AM CST

Information

All proceeds from this event benefit Silver Circle Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization, with funds specifically designated for the Summit Police Department and Western Lakes Fire District. To date, the event has raised over $70,000 to support these two departments.

The Timothy Gahagan Memorial Frostbite Scramble offers a unique twist on a traditional 9-hole golf scramble—played on frozen Silver Lake in Oconomowoc, WI! Participants use a tennis ball and can strike it with any device, as long as it is hit from the ground. Teams consist of 2–4 players, with a shotgun start to kick off the fun.

In 2012, our father experienced a medical emergency, and it was in that moment we truly understood the immense contributions of our police, fire, and EMS members to our community. Within moments, men and women rushed into our home—many still in their civilian clothes—to assist our family. Most of these individuals were volunteers who dropped everything in an instant to help. We remain deeply grateful for their unwavering dedication and service.

That day inspired us to find a way to give back to these everyday heroes, and thus, the Frostbite Scramble was born. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the event are donated directly to the Western Lakes Fire Department and Summit Police Department, supporting the men and women who are there for us in our greatest times of need.

In October 2013, we made our final 911 call. Once again, the brave members of the Western Lakes Fire District and Summit Police Department came to our aid, just as they had so many times before. Tragically, our father, Tim, passed away two weeks later.

Today, the event proudly bears his name as a tribute to his memory—The Timothy Gahagan Memorial Frostbite Scramble—honoring both our dad and the incredible first responders who continue to serve our community selflessly.

Best Ball Scramble Format

Tee-Off:
- Each member of the group tees off.
- The team captain, with input from the group, selects the most desirable drive.
Advancing Play:
- All players pick up their balls and move to the spot of the selected drive.
- From that spot, everyone takes their second shot.
Continued Play:
- The group chooses the best second shot.
- All players then hit their third shots (or putts) from that spot.
- This process continues until the ball is holed.
Scoring:
- At the end of each hole, record the group’s score on the card.
- Golfers may play more than 9 holes, but the final score and awards will be based on a 9-hole finish time.
- Scoring starts at the hole you were assigned. You cannot play more holes and "select" the best scores, but nice try.

Rules

The ball can be struck with any instrument (including your foot) but must be hit while resting on the ground. No lifting the ball to strike it.
Always hit the ball from the designated T-box mat.
Heckling other foursomes is not only allowed—it’s encouraged!
If another group’s ball encroaches on your play, you may "gently" move it. A good slap with a 5 iron is highly recommended.
The maximum score per hole is 13.
Please repair all divots to keep the course in great condition.

Have fun and play your best! ⛳
