Two-player Scramble Format

A scramble format means that both team members tee-off on each hole and then decide which tee shot they like the best and mark the spot with a tee or ball marker.  The other player picks up his/her ball and places it within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the marked spot.  Both players hit their shot from the chosen spot.  This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts.  The ball should be marked on the putting green also.  Putts need to be made within 3 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole).  The first ball to go in the hole is counted for the team score.  If the ball you choose to play is in a hazard (sand, water, etc.), or the rough, you cannot drop the ball outside of the hazard or rough even if relief is within one club length away.  Each team member must use at least three tee shots during the nine holes.  Mark your scorecard to indicate whose tee shot was used on each hole.
