"Ambrose Golf" is another name for a scramble, but one in which a team handicap is used. The Ambrose format is very popular as it allows all levels of golfers to mix and play together. It requires teamwork and minimizes the amount of time looking for lost balls, thus speeding up play. One score is thus recorded on each hole. This is the sum of the best shots used throughout the hole. Groups of between two to four players work as a team. Composition of each team is an important factor. The composite skill levels of each team should be as close to equal as possible. For example, there should not be a team of golfers who all can score in the low 80s and another team where all the players score in the 100s. The 80s team will beat the 100s team consistently even with a handicap adjustment. For a team of 2 golfers, the combined handicap of both players is divided by 4 to arrive at the team handicap. For 3 golfers, divide by 6 and for 4 golfers divide by 8. When the team's round score is totaled, subtract the team handicap to arrive at the net score. Each player hits off the tee and then the team selects the optimal shot to use as the team shot. Optimal does not necessarily mean the ball closest to the hole, since during the course of the complete round, each player's tee shots must be used a minimum number of times (usually 3 or 4). All other players pick up their ball and, in sequence, hits a second shot from within 1 club length of the "optimal ball", but no closer to the hole and not outside any hazard that the "optimal ball" landed in. The optimal shot is again selected and all golfers hit their next shot from there. This continues until the ball is in the hole. On the putting green the optimal ball location is marked and the other balls are played from this position.
