In golf there is a certain number of strokes or hits of the ball that is required to finish the hole in, this is called par. If a person gets the ball into the hole one stroke or ball hit under par this is called birdie. It means you completed the hole faster than the average completion rate for the hole.
Points in golf are scored by how many times you hit the ball from to tee until it is in the hole. Each time you hit the ball, you get one stroke. 1 stroke equals 1 point.
In stroke play, two stroke penalty and then you must play your ball. In matchplay it is loss of the hole.

A shamble is a type of golf tournament that combines elements of a scramble with elements of stroke play. Like in a scramble, all members of a team (usually four) tee off and the best ball of the four tee shots is selected. All players move their balls to the spot of the best ball. From this point, the hole is played out at stroke play, with all members of the team playing their own ball into the hole.
