TEXAS SCRAMBLE – 3 Players

Each player in a group tees off as normal. The best of these shots is then chosen to be used for the next shot. Each member of the team hits their shot from that spot. This process continues until the hole is played out. Each player must contribute at least two tee shots throughout the game. Each player marks the ball after putting. Play continues from each position until the ball is holed. If a player putts and misses and then inadvertently knocks the ball into the hole, that score counts. Each team returns one score for each hole and the team with the lowest score for the round wins.
