MBO 40 - A celebration of Brotherhood

A "shamble" is a type of golf tournament format in which a team of golfers selects the one best drive among them after teeing off, then each play their own golf balls from that position into the hole. You can think of a shamble as a scramble off the tee and then regular stroke play into the hole. Shamble tournaments are sometimes called "brambles."    Best score on the hole is what's counted

Part 1: A Scramble Off the Tee 

 Like in a scramble, all members of a team tee off and the best drive of the two 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. Therefore if Golfer B hits the best drive, Golfer A  picks up their drive, walk over to the location of B's ball, and all play their next strokes from that location.  

Part 2: 'Real Golf' Into the Hole 

 Once each golfer in a shamble plays his second stroke, he continues playing his own golf ball into the hole, in each case from wherever it lies.     Advertisement     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

   The one low ball of the golfers on the team is the team score. 

NOT ALLOWED TWO BALLS OFF FIRST TEE

A/B - Best Ball

C/D - Captains Choice

This means that A/B players play their own ball all the way in.

C/D golfers take the best drive and the best shot  till its in the hole. 

• Golfers C and D hit drives. They compare the results. Who hit the best drive? Let's say it was C.
• So Golfer D picks up their golf ball and moves his to where C's ball is.  Both now hit their second shots from the location of C's drive. 
• Compare the results of those second shots. Which was best? The other on the team move their ball to that spot, and all play their third strokes.
• Repeat until the ball is in the hole.
