Shamble Rules
• Gross and net
tournament.
• Both players hit a
tee shot on every hole.
• Choose the better
tee shot. Each player will play his own ball from that spot.
a. If the ball is in the fairway, you may
lift, clean, and place within one club-length.
b. If the ball is in the rough, you must play
the ball down. The player whose ball you have chosen to play will hit his ball
as it lies. His partner will drop a ball as close as possible to where the
original ball lay. If the dropped ball lands in the divot made by the first
player, or rolls closer to the hole or onto the fairway, you must re-drop. If
the same problem occurs on the second drop, place the ball where it hit the
ground on the second drop.
• Each team must use
7 tee shots from each player (Par-3’s included).
• Record both players’
scores. Pick up when you are out of a hole. This is a better ball tournament –
only one score will count on each hole.
