- What is a Scramble? Nikki had no idea what a Golf Scramble was, so Brent had to lay down the knowledge.
- A scramble is one of the most common formats for golf tournaments. The game is played by a team of four players where each member hits their ball throughout the match. Team captains choose the best shot from the first stroke and use the same spot for each player. After completing one round, the team engages in another stroke where they select one location and play the balls from there. The process continues until all holes are completed.
- Why were we talking about Golf Scrambles? Well, today’s Spring Into Cash prize is a round of golf for four at Three Lakes Golf Course. The rest you can figure out!
