Uh, what?
In Best Ball: Each player plays their own ball. The best score for the
hole is the team score.
Now, the proper form for the scramble should have been that you each attempt the first putt (marking misses), then take the 2nd putt; as a scramble is played from one shot location at a time (to exaggerate, one player wouldn't tee off, then hit his second shot before everyone else hit; whether he pured it or duffed it, right?)
That said, when we play scrambles on Mens' Night, if you put the first putt close, then tap in, you have your 'guaranteed score' - everyone else tries to make the putt for the better score (like you were doing).
The danger in having someone 'tap in' is; if they miss the tap in (and it happens) then what is your group to do?
