best ball
Golf team format
Best ball is a golf format where each player in a team plays their own ball throughout, and the team's score on each hole is the lowest individual score among them.
The term sometimes overlaps with scramble, though strictly speaking a scramble has all players hitting from the best previous shot.
We're playing best ball this Saturday—bring your A game.
