Sometimes mistakenly called 'best ball', a scramble is 1 round of golf between a team of 4 (or in our case 3). Each member of the team hits their own ball off the tee. The team captain (with group consideration) selects the best shot, and each group member hits their second shot from that location. Once on the green, the same applies. Everyone putts, and the captain selects the closest or best shot, and everyone plays their next ball from there until you are holed out. If you miss your putt, MARK IT, if you accidentally tap it in before the other members of your group have taken their shot, your hole is over and that stroke number is your score.
Each member of the group must have at least 2 of their drives used during the round. Please write the name of that player on your score card for each hole (until 2 drives from each team member has been obtained) .
Here is the "crazy" part. Each team has 3 kicks and 3 throws to use during the round. These DO NOT count as strokes. This is 3 kicks and throws per team not per person. Please mark down on your card which holes your kicks and throws were used on.
Example: Lamar hits his tee shot within 2 inches of the hole on a par 3. The team discusses their options and decides that Jerry should attempt to kick the ball into the hole. Jerry kicks the ball and is successful. This team scores a 1 on this hole.
A kick is a kick. You may elect to use your kicks when you are barely short of holing out. Beware, kicking the ball into a hole is extremely hard!
A throw is self explanatory. If you are just short of the hole, you can drop the ball into the hole, and that counts as a throw. No steps, feet together, no laying down on the green, using a stepladder, garden rake, or anything else you can think of. 2 feet, side by side, bend over, drop the ball into the hole. Or of course you can throw the ball as far as you want to.
