Ambrose
A scramble with the handicap done the Australian way: add the team’s course handicaps and divide — by 8 for a four, 6 for three, 4 for a pair.
- 2–4 players
- One ball
- One team
How it’s scored
- Everything is a scramble: one ball, one number a hole, strokes under par.
- The team handicap is the combined course handicaps divided by the divisor.
- 10 + 12 + 16 + 20 = 58, over 8, is 7.3 — against 9.3 for the same four as a scramble.
- Net to a tenth, off the finished total.

Handicaps
The divisor is typed on the round when it is set up — 8 for a four by default — and stays with it. Type 7.5 if that is your rule.

The fine print
Why to a tenth?
Dividing 58 by 8 is 7.25 and rounding to a whole shot would be someone’s opinion. Net reads 55.7.
What does the app refuse?
A divisor that is not a positive number up to ten. A later change to the default never moves a round already played.
Drive rules?
The group’s to keep for now; the app takes only the score.
