one of you should play it safe the other should try the miracle shot..

Actually, both of you should play safe, especially if the other guy is a 14 or whatever like you. If you try the "safe/heroic" approach, you're going to be under pressure all day when one of you messes up the safe shot.

My advice? Have fun. That's it. Oh, and have the better putter go second. Beyond that... play your normal game.

yeah, better putter second, and make sure the first putter gets the ball to the whole to give the second putter the break. and have the person playing first try a safe shot. if it's succesful, try to hit a "mirac"

hit greens. scrambles are putting contests. you need to give yourself a chance at birdie every hole.

Definitely concentrate on hitting the greens in regulation. Been there and made that mistake before.

Agree, I played in my first tourney not too long a go, it was a 4-man scramble. My 3 playing partners are probably realistically in the 40-50 handicap range and I am not so sure I can really play to a 21.8 (that's what the USGA computer I post my scores on calculates me at...)

We posted an 86, I felt great and I thought we did awesome! We were using my shots at least 3/4 of the time. When we get back and started looking at the board I realized that a competitive score was something like 11-12 under par for the round. My friend on a better team said, "How did you guys possibly play bogey golf on a scramble?"

Getting GIR and chances at birdie putts is key... For my team, a good chip close to the hole was key for making par, because none of us was good at iron approach shots.
