Shamble

A team golf format that combines elements of scramble and best ball play, where all team members tee off, select the best drive, then play their individual balls from that position for the remainder of the hole. Shamble formats allow for strategic team play on tee shots while maintaining individual play thereafter, creating a balance between team cooperation and individual performance. This format is popular in tournaments because it speeds up play compared to pure stroke play while still rewarding individual skills. Shamble variations may include different rules for approach shots, putting, or scoring methods.
