What are the basic rules of a golf scramble format?

I’ve heard that a golf scramble is a popular format for team tournaments and casual play. How exactly does this format work, and what are the main rules players need to follow? Feel free to share a simple explanation for beginners.

In a golf scramble, every player on a team takes their shot from the tee on each hole. After everyone has teed off, the team picks the best shot, and then all players take their next shot from that spot. This keeps going until the ball is in the hole. At the end, the team adds up their best shots to get a single score for the hole.

In a golf scramble, every player on the team takes their turn hitting a tee shot, and then the team picks the best one. After that, everyone plays their next shot from that chosen spot. This process keeps going until the ball is in the hole, and the team ends up with just one score for that hole.
