HNRS Open 2025 - Roger Steele and SEPP Save The Scramble

The HNRS Open is more than a golf tournament or just another scramble. It’s a celebration of competition, camaraderie, and culture. Designed to honor the traditions of the game while pushing it forward. The event brought together an elite field for a high stakes, high pressure scramble that blends fun, skill, strategy, and performance under the gun.

Teams battle in a competitive 18 hole 4-person scramble format, and the day concludes with a 3-hole aggregate horse race for the top 3 teams. This is where legends will be made and cash + bragging will be won.

To protect the integrity of the game, we introduced The SEPP—the Scramble Enforcement Protection Pact. These sworn enforcers are with every group and stationed throughout the course to ensure fair play, eliminate questionable tactics, and maintain the honor of the competition. This was an essential part in how we kept the field safe from themselves.

The HNRS Open is powered by HNRS Golf, a brand that exists to honor the game by telling its most important stories through experiences, content, and merchandise. From celebrating historic figures, places, moments, and traditions shaping the culture of golf’s future, HNRS is committed to preserving and elevating the sport in the right ways for players and fans alike.
