2 Men Texas Scramble

---

A 2 Men Texas Scramble format involves 2-person teams where each player on the team hits a tee shot, and then the players decide which shot they like better. The two players then play from that spot.
The person who's shot was not taken picks up his/her ball and moves it to within one club length of the selected agreed spot, not closer to the pin.

You then repeat the process with each shot until the ball is in the hole.
*Restriction: Each member of the group must contribute a minimum of 4 drivers per round!

As a team you only return one score per hole! 

Format: Team stroke play (NET) or Stableford (NET)

*For a Ryder Cup, it will be a Match Play (NET).

 Team Handicap Calculator:

A = Lowest Handicap player x 0,35

B = Highest Handicap player x 0,15

Team Handicap = the Sum of A+B

Exampe: 

a) lowest playing handicap player  8.3 = 2.9

b) highest player handicap player 25.4 = 3.81

Team Handicap: 2.9+3.8 = 6.71

• The solo player hits two tee shots.
• The solo player selects the best shot.
• Then the player hits two shots again from the selected position, simulating a 2-player team.

Handicap is typically calculated as one player × 35% of their Course Handicap (instead of 35% + 15% for two players).

How did the name come about?
