Two Person Texas Scramble Format and Rules: 

Both players in your group tee off at every hole. After both players have teed off, the tee shot that is deemed to be the best is used on that hole.

Both players proceeds to hit from within one width of a scorecard, no nearer the hole, from where the selected tee shot came to rest. Ball may be placed in closely mown areas i.e. fairway, fringe, tee box but if any selected shot is in the rough or bunker, each player must drop the ball and play from the same condition. For each successive shot, select the preferred shot and each player hits from within one width of a scorecard, no nearer the hole.

Once on the green, both players may putt from within six inches of the selected ball. The first ball in the hole is the scoring ball for the group.
