TEXAS
SCRAMBLE - RULES OF THE GAME
From The Tee
Each Team member hits their own ball from the tee on every hole. The
members of the Team then decide which ball is in the best playing position
(the "better ball") and picks up the other three balls (assuming
four players on a team). Note the TEAM REQUIREMENTS section below.
From the Fairway
If not on the green, each member once again hits their own ball. These
balls are dropped within a single club length of the better ball's position,
but no closer to the pin. This continues until at least one ball arrives
at the green. The owner of the better ball is the last player to play
the shot.
Putting
The Team decides which ball on the green is the "better ball"
and picks up the others. The position of the better ball is marked with
a normal ball marker and all players putt their own ball from the mark.
The owner of the better ball is the last to putt.
If any of the members sink
the putt, simply proceed to the next hole as that is the better ball.
Don't continue to putt.
If all miss the putt, again
select the new position of the better ball from the putts just done
and continue until some one finally holes out.
Team Requirements
(Optional)
Each member of the team is required to provide ONE of the Tee shots
for the Team per nine holes, even though those may not be the "better
ball" for the team. Teams that fail to complete this mandatory
requirement are eliminated from prize contention and not invited back!
