🚶Shamble

How It Works

Both partners tee off, the team picks the best drive, and everyone plays their own ball in from there — no more sharing shots after the tee. Structurally the same as Four Ball (each hole, the team's score is the better of its two partners' net scores), just with a different handicap allowance to reflect the shared best drive.

Scoring in theStick

Since only the final score matters (not who hit which shot), enter each player's own score like any individual game — there's no shared team score row to fill in.

Options & Variations

Format can be Match, Stroke, or both at once (both pay out separately) — default Match. Bet-per-player (default $20). Presses (default on, $10) are available in Match format. Assign Team A / B — same "tap to swap players in or out" picker as Four Ball/Vegas/Chapman. Handicaps: Index on Low HC (on, indexed off the active four) with a flat % HC (default 100%, same control as Four Ball) applied first, then the LOWER-handicap partner on each team is scaled again by their own percentage and the HIGHER-handicap partner by a separate percentage — both default 75% (lower than Four Ball's effective 100%, since the shared best drive is itself an advantage) — plus Full or Half strokes.

Payouts

The losing team pays the winning team per match (and per stroke total, if both formats are on). A halved match exchanges nothing.

Pro Tips

• The best driver should tee off first — a good drive in the bag takes pressure off the second tee shot.
• Play your own ball aggressively once a safe drive is already down — you have nothing to lose.
• Track your own net score carefully; unlike a shared-ball format, a bad approach or putt is entirely on you.
