The ‘Texas Scramble’ or ‘Superball’ is played in teams of three for the ‘Loving cup’, or the ‘Rosebowl’. Each member of a team drives. The best tee shot is selected and all three team members hit their second shots from that position. The player of the ball that has been selected always plays first. The other two place their ball within 6 inches, no nearer the hole. Play continues in this manner until a ball is holed.
The score for the hole is the number of shots played by the team after one of the balls is holed out.
NOTE: If a ball that has been played is played again, before the other balls have been played, then this ball is now in play (i.e. do not tap in putts before the other players have played).
In a team of 3 each player will normally have to have 5 of their drives chosen by the team to play their second shots from within the round, a team of 4 will need 4 drives each.
Normally a team of three will be allowed a handicap of one seventh of the combined handicap of the team members (one tenth for teams of four), and the format of the competition is medal.
