Still don't understand the texas scramble allowances as listed by jim8flog. Four of us play in a scramble with handicaps of 12, 14, 18 and 20. Calculating 25% 20% 15% and 10% gives an allowance of 10.5
Next week two of us, handicaps 12 and 18, play in a two man scramble and 35% and 15% gives an allowance of 6.9 It seems odd that a four man team should get more shots than a 2 man team.
I know it is the same for all teams as all teams are pairs but it doesn't seem very logical.
However it is not unknown for teams of 4 in the winter to be a man short so what happens then as a team of three 12, 14, 18 get 8.2 allowance and this is a real disadvantage playing against teams of 4. Hard luck perhaps?
