All players tee off. The team chooses the shot it likes best. Everyone moves to that spot and hits again. Keep doing that until the ball is holed.
How to win
Finish with the lowest team score after any handicap allowance is applied.
Example
Remember this
- One good shot can help the whole team.
- Teams often need to use a set number of tee shots from each player.
- The handicap allowance is set by the event.
Things to be aware of
Scramble handicap allowances vary by team size and local rules. The committee should publish the exact calculation before play.
