Frequently asked questions
Why is the lowest handicap weighted most?
In a scramble the team plays the best ball, so the strongest player contributes most. Weighting their handicap heaviest keeps team handicaps fair across mixed-ability groups.
What percentage of handicap should each player contribute in a scramble?
The most common USGA-recommended formula for a 4-player scramble uses 25% of the lowest handicap, 20% of the second, 15% of the third, and 10% of the highest, though many casual events simplify this to a flat percentage of the combined team handicap.
