Heaven & Hell is a 4-player best shot (scramble) team event at Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames, Iowa, on September 27, 2026. The event features a 10:00am shotgun start. The course is split into two nine-hole sections: 9 holes set up easy ('Heaven') and 9 holes set up harder ('Hell'). All four team members hit from each tee; the best shot is selected and all players then hit from that location, continuing until the ball is holed. Winter rules apply: players may lift, clean and place the ball within one club-length of the original position, no closer to the hole, and without improving stance, swing, or lie. The ball may not be moved from rough to fairway, out of a hazard, or onto a green. Tee assignments: Women play the Red tees, Men aged 65 and older play the White tees, Men aged 64 and under play the Gold tees. Players should check in at least 45 minutes before the start time to collect scorecards, tee assignments, and carts. Registration is available online via GolfStatus.
