Scramble:
Scramble is a format of golf competition of teams, comprised of two, three or four players (partners). Each player on the team plays his (or her) own ball throughout the round. All partners hit tee shots, they select which ball they prefer, and the players whose balls were not selected pick up their balls and move them to that location. All partners then play their second stroke from that spot and repeat procedure until any ball is holed in.
Usually the lifted balls are placed within one scorecard’s width or one putter head of the selected position. In regular Scramble (unlike Texas Scramble) there are no driving requirements – one player might have his tee shot selected on every hole. This format can be played as Match Play or Stroke Play.
