What is an Ambrose event?
The Ambrose format is very popular as it allows all standards of golfers to mix and play together with equal enjoyment, irrespective of ability. It also helps to promote teamwork as one score is recorded per hole and generally minimises the amount of time looking for lost balls.
Each player hits off the tee, the best shot is selected and all other players pick up their ball and place it, within one handspan, alongside the best ball. Each person then hits a second shot from the same spot. The best shot is again selected. This continues until the ball is in the hole. On the putting green the best ball is marked and the other balls are played from this position. One score is thus recorded on each hole. This is the sum of the best shots used throughout the hole.
