Shamble
Format: Team
No. of Players: Outing/Tournaments
Play: This is a point game in which a foursome plays as a team against the other four member teams in a tournament.

In a shamble, each member of the foursome hits a tee shot and the best drive of the team is selected. From the spot of the selected tee shot, each player in the foursome hits their second shot and continues to play their own ball to finish out the hole.

Each player's individual score is recorded and points are earned as follows:
  • Par:1 Point
  • Birdie:2 Points
  • Eagle:3 Points
  • Double Eagle: 4 Points

The individual points are added together to make the team score for the hole. Players use their handicap, and points earned are based on net scores of each individual player. This gives each team member the opportunity to contribute regardless of skill level.
