Ambrose (or Scramble) is a team stroke event usually played by a group of four but can be any number.

Each player plays a tee shot at each hole. The team captain then selects the best drive, which is then played by its owner. The other members retrieve their balls & in turn place their ball within one club-length of the selected drive and plays their second shot.

This process of selecting the best ball position continues until a ball is holed. When on the green, balls are placed on the selected spot.

This event can be played as a gross event, with each group having a spread of handicaps, or as a handicap event where a fraction of the aggregate handicap is used. For groups of four, 1/8 is used as the team handicap.
