Golf Scramble RSVP Website: Foursomes, Tee Times, and Carts

A golf scramble breaks when you have thirteen players for three foursomes, a cart short, or a tee time the shop already gave away because your list still said maybe. The course sells a shotgun or a block of tee times, a set of carts, and a kitchen count. A name that has not said yes does not hold a cart.
