This year we were a very respectable -9.... and we were 16th out of 36 teams. Our goal is to beat our score from the year before. We know that winning without cheating is not very likely.

I don't play as many as I used to, but for a number of years, we corporately played in a lot of scrambles. You start getting into strings, throws, and blows, the numbers can get ridiculous. Won a few over the years, seen some serious cheating in front of me, but where I have seen the most blatant cheaters, the winners donate their winnings back to the charity.

Here is the deal with a scramble. Drink beer, play with good friends, have fun, expect to go home with nothing, you are supporting the cause.

And for those who said the drive was the most important part of a scramble, I disagree. It's the approach shot. 12" or less putts are the key to going low in a scramble. Fairway versus rough is not important, you place the ball, don't drop it, so you can get as good a shot from the rough as the fairway. I would take 100 from the rough versus 130 from the fairway all day in a scramble

    Supp That was a pretty cheap stunt. WTF was he thinking?

    Would have been kind of funny if it was a joke and they admitted it at the end. But since they said it wasn't illegal for them to have a pro on their team, what's the problem? Maybe he didn't want to be bothered?

        J.B. has earned $56k in 8 events this season. I can understand his desperation.

        And it was so cool for him to stick around afterwards and take photos with the other teams in the field he was trying to screw over, and did screw over with his slow ass play. Probably took him 6 hours to finish.

          You're right I suppose, but I think he should have been up front right from the start.

            The article said that the organizer recognized JB from his swing.

            Which is a sanitized way of saying, “After dude addressed the ball and backed off 6 times, I knew I had seen him before on tv years ago.”

              👍Scrambles (honest ones) are all about putting and close proximity increases your odds.

                inconsistent My experience has been that the teams that win ALWAYS cheat their a$$ off.

                The pencil is the best club in their bag......

                  We have a big charity scramble on Monday that should be fun. 🏌
