The scramble format allows for a more relaxed and social game since it minimizes the impact of poor shots and allows all team members to contribute to the team’s success. It’s a great way to keep the pace of play quick and enjoyable, especially for players of varying skill levels. Here’s how it works:

Tee Off: Each player on the team of 4 hits a tee shot.

Best Shot Selection: The team chooses the best shot from those hit. The location of this best shot is marked, and all team members play their next shots from this spot.

Subsequent Shots: The process is repeated for each subsequent shot, including puts. All players hit from the location of the best shot until the ball is holed out.

Scoring: The team’s score for each hole is the total number of shots taken to get the ball into the hole using the scramble format.
