Texas Scramble... how many drives?

[IanM]

Played a Texas Scramble today, usual thing about 4 drives minimum per player.

Is there a requirement to mark whose drive was taken on the scorecard, or some way of showing each player took 4 drives. I stick an initial of the player, then circle the 4th.

My guess this isn't in the Rules.

Infill the score on their column on the scorecard….

Is the correct and easiest way of doing it.

Either as above or mark next to score player A, B etc

It is down to the organising committee as to whether scorecards should be marked to indicate the drives taken.

I use the same as Lump - put the gross score in the appropriate players column, some put a tick in that box.

Putting the score in the appropriate players box makes it easier to enter the scores on the computer as you are just reading and entering each players score one at time rather than the team score on the IG system we use.

I put A1 A2 B1 B2 etc against each hole

I guess minimum no of tee shots per player is determined as a CoC

There's nothing at all in the Rules about scrambles

And my least favourite is minimum drives as I have lost a lot of distance in the last few years

Is what we do at our club.

We have to mark who's drive was used.
I guarantee you'll never find my name on the last hole ,

Your guess is correct. It might be in the CoC though.

I don’t think there are any official rules, just the ones set by the event organiser that I’ve encountered.

We always mark the score in the column of the corresponding player who tee’d off and it is checked once cards are submitted - rightly so. We played a pairs scramble at the weekend, 9 drives each to count and must include 2 x par 3’s each (we have 4 x par 3’s total) Squeaky bum time on 18 when the drive had to count (and it was down to me ?)

Pretty simple to mark the card you’d think… apparently not ?

 

[Bratty]

We print a special card that includes a column for who's drive got used and give to one player per team when they sign in.

Surprising how many mark cards wrongly in a shotgun start scramble

I usually play in 3 or 4 team scrambles, so obviously the required drives is different. However, there have been several times in which I've played in a 4 team scramble, and a player is adamant that it is 5 drives each. It is always interesting to see how long it takes for them to see where the issue may lie in this requirement.
