How to Mark a Scramble Scorecard in Golf

A scramble is a popular golf tournament that utilizes a team format. It is a favorite format for many charity golf events and company outings. Often, charity events attract players who are beginners or only play a few rounds of golf each year. A scramble typically has two or four players on each team. Participating in a scramble allows each player on the team to hit a tee shot. The team then selects the best drive. Each player then hits his next shot from the best drive selected by the team. Play continues in this manner until the ball is holed.

      Write the team members on each line of the scorecard. There should be at least five lines on the scorecard. If you have to fill the scorecard out yourself, write Team Total on the bottom line of the scorecard. Usually when you participate in a scramble golf tournament the golf shop will set up a scorecard for each team. It will include each player's name, team total and may also include any special rules and handicap information, if applicable.

      Follow the rules associated with the scramble. Often a scramble requires team members to use a minimum number of drives for each team member. Place a check on the hole where each team member uses his drive. At the end of the round you will see what holes and how many drives were used by each player.

      Total the score at the end of the round. Unlike a normal round of golf with a foursome, there is only one score for the team on each hole. After each hole, write the team score in the total column. The team with the lowest score wins the event.
