Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called a “shamble” in golf. It’s a bit different from your regular game, kind of a mix-up of a few styles. Here’s how it went down for me.
First off, I got together with a couple of buddies – we decided to make it a three-man team thing, just to keep it simple. We hit the course, and each of us teed off just like we normally would. Then things got interesting. We looked at all our shots and picked the best one. No arguing, just a quick “Yeah, that one’s solid.”
- Teeing Off: Everyone takes their shot from the tee.
- Picking the Best: We huddled, pointed, and chose the best drive.
- Playing On: From there, we each played our own ball until it was in the hole.
Once we picked the best tee shot, we all moved our balls to that spot. From there, it was individual play. I had my own ball, my buddies had theirs, and we each played on until we sunk it. This was kind of cool because it felt like a team effort at the start, but then you still got to focus on your own game.
We went through all 18 holes like this. The scoring was nothing fancy – just counted up the strokes for each of us at each hole. I gotta say, it was a nice change of pace. The teamwork at the start really takes some pressure off, but you still get that competitive edge from playing your own ball.
My Takeaway
After playing a full round of shamble, I felt it was a pretty neat way to play golf. It mixes things up and seems like a good way to introduce new players to the game without overwhelming them. Plus, it’s just fun to do something different on the course. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for a laid-back but still engaging way to play golf.
