Shamble
The team plays from its best drive, then everyone plays their own ball into the hole.
How it works
Everyone on the team tees off before the team picks one drive.
From that drive each player finishes the hole with their own ball, so everyone has a score.
The team counts its best net score on every hole, or its best two. The lowest total wins.
Good to know
- Teams with the same score on every hole share the place. Otherwise the tie is broken hole by hole, from the hardest hole to the easiest, net in a net game, and the lower team score wins.
A worked round
Each team counts its best net score on every hole, everyone getting 75% of their handicap.
The momentLevel with two to play. On 17, Sam made 3, which counted for the team, and Team A won by one.

Net scores, each player's handicap strokes already off. A circle marks a birdie and a square a bogey. The Team rows are each team's best score, the one that counts.
Handicaps
Players get 75% of their handicap when the team counts one ball, and 85% for two. The host can change the percentage when setting up.
Why that number? Each format has its own usual handicap allowance, set so a 20 and a 5 both have a fair shot.
