2017 Blackhawks Golf Tournament We will play “Shamble format” Shamble, Part 1: A Scramble Off the Tee Like in a scramble, all members of a team (usually four golfers per team, but it can be three or two) tee off and the best drive of the four tee shots is selected. All players move their balls to the location of that best drive. That is the location from which each golfer plays his or her second stroke. So if Golfer B hits the best drive, Golfers A, C and D pick up their drives, walk over to the location of B's ball, and all play their next strokes from that location.
Shamble, Part 2: 'Real Golf' Into the Hole Once each golfer in a shamble plays their second stroke, they continue playing their own golf ball into the hole, in each case from wherever it lies. No more choosing the best of the second shots, best of the third shots, etc., as you'd do in a scramble tournament. That scramble element is only used after the tee balls. After that, each golfer on a team plays his or her own ball into the hole. They play "real golf," in other words.
Scoring In a Shamble Tournament A shamble team consisting of four golfers is going to finish each hole with four scores - one for each golfer on the team. So what is the team score? •
The one low ball of the golfers on the team can be the team score
