FLORIDA SCRAMBLE
Works like a conventional scramble except that the team may not select the same golfer's shot twice in a row until reaching the green. Once on the green, this restriction no longer applies.
If a player's shot is selected, that player is supposed to skip the next shot altogether.
That's not important to the format or scoring of the game.
A Florida Scramble adds a tactical wrinkle not present in an ordinary Scramble. It is no longer an automatic decision to select the best-placed ball every time. There will be occasions where the team (or team captain) will prefer to choose the second best shot so that a particular player will be eligible to hit the next shot. Perhaps there is a water hazard to cross and the captain wants his best player to have a chance at crossing it. Perhaps one member of the team is particularly good at approach shots. Whatever the specific reason, a Florida Scramble combines strategy along with skill.
A handicap for men will range from 0 to 36.4 and from 0 to 40.4 for women. I think most of us have at least club handicaps.
