For you who have played the scramble, you might enjoy this variation called the shamble. In the Golf shamble format, things change after everyone tees off. When you're playing a scramble, every player on your team takes a whack at the ball from the tee and then on from where the team determines is the "best" lie for the next shot. In the shamble, everyone tees off as you do in the scramble. Just as in the scramble, everyone on the team plays from what is determined to be the best shot. Here's where the similarity ends, though. In the shamble, from the second shot to holing out, everyone plays their own ball. So you have a mix of features from the scramble and from stroke play. It's nice to have four shots (shambles are typically in teams of four) from the tee and be able to pick the best. From there, though, the pressure's on because you pick the best score amongst the four. Because of the mix of abilities typical in such tournament formats, it's reasonable to use players' full handicaps. Of course you can add all sorts of variations onto the shamble as is the case with scrambles. You might use two or three of the best scores rather than just one. If you wanted to add a bit more pressure to the teams, you could require up to four drives from each player in a foursome be used.
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 all four 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." In his book, "Chi Chi's Golf Games You Gotta Play," Chi Chi Rodriguez and co-authors John Anderson and Peter Jacobsen describe the attraction of the shamble format: Two nice benefits of a shamble: First, with occasional exceptions, golfers get to play approach shots from a decent position on the fairway. Second, it feels more like a regular game of golf; and if a player has plunked down a generous fee for a spot in the tournament, it's nice to be able to play your own ball and see the whole course. When it's said that a shamble tournament "feels more like a regular game of golf," it means that on every shot (except the second one) the golfers are, in fact, just playing regular golf. That is, they are hitting their own golf ball from its own position. That second shot exception is the scramble element that gives the twist to the shamble format. Like in a scramble, all members of a team (usually four golfers per team, but it can be three or two) tee off and the best drive of the four 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, Golfers A, C, and D pick up their drives, walk over to the location of B's ball, and all play their next strokes from that location. 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. 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. A shamble team consisting of four golfers is going to finish each hole with four scores — one for each golfer on the team. So what is the team score? That's up to the tournament organizers, of course, but there are many options:
A shamble tournament provides plenty of options for determining the team score. Shamble scoring is only limited by the tournament director's imagination. Rodriguez, Chi Chi. "Chi Chi's Golf Games You Gotta Play." John Anderson, Peter Jacobsen, Paperback, 1st Printing edition, Human Kinetics, December 23, 2002. Typically when you have the word, or derivation of the word, shamble in the same sentence as golf, it's something like this: "My golf game is in shambles!" However, if you've ever been invited to play in a corporate or charity golf outing you may have heard the term "Shamble," and you scratch your head and say, "hmmm, what is a Shamble in a golf event?" A Shamble or Scramble? That is the Question!So glad you asked! For many, a Shamble is the perfect format alternative for the standard, "Scramble" format. Are you completely confused? Our assistant golf professional Chris Baisch explains in this video clip: If you've ever played in a big golf event, you're probably familiar with a "Scramble." This is when all golfers tee off and the person with the best, or most preferred shot, is played by all golfers. They each hit their shot from that location and the same routine ensues - the best shot is selected and all golfers play that shot until the ball is holed out.  In a "Shamble," each golfer tees off and the best shot is selected, but from that point, each golfer plays his or her own ball until it is holed out. What's fun about a Shamble format is that each person gets the benefit of the best drive, so they typically start out with a nice advantage (assuming there's a big hitter in the group)! In either case, the format is intended to be fun and relaxing for all golfers, whether high or low handicappers. Next time you're putting together your golf event, consider a Shamble format. you'll find it's a fun alternative for golfers who really want to feel like they're playing the course as individual golfers.
