That sounds a rubbish format!

Of course it is. It’s a scramble

Shouldn’t his fourth drive be in play ?
If it’s not on the golf course how can it count as his drive.?

Chicken and egg question!

It will count when he does get it in play - 3 off the tee, 5 off the tee etc.

Surely its more easily explained by asking from where the 2nd stroke has to be played? The answer to which is the position dictated by the chosen ball. If the chosen ball (by lack of choice) is OOB then the second shot has to be played from the tee - by those whose are entitled (by the rules of the comp') to play the second shot. And dont forget to add on the required penalty stroke for doing so.

I quite like an ordinary Texas scramble.

I think the scramble with the dice sounds really good. But struggling with the idea of throwing a dice on a teeing ground! Is there an app that is a random number generator that can be set between 1 and 4?

You need numbers 5 & 6 as well (I think)
Definitely a 5, we use that number, if it lands on 5, the team choose the drive.

OMG!!! You need an "App" for throwing a dice?

Saints preserve us.

I may be missing the point…(and I accept the App ribbing). but how do you use a dice on grass?.

No problem, the dice we use are quite large.

Scrambles are a brilliant format for very occasional play.
