rsvman2 I put it in the category of HIO, mostly luck. I have two that I can remember. Best one I ever saw was my wife from 175 yards. Never got off the ground rolled all the way straight into the hole for eagle 2 on a par 4.

    Eguller Whew...for a second there I expected to read...'darn clubs'. Apparently, it was on Steve this time. At least from the way I read it.

        There's NEVER anything wrong with the clubs. It's me.

        BTW, I've had my 4h and 6h for 2 years now. SO THERE!😉

            sdandrea1 I've been playing hybrids since I was basically a kid. Maybe 20 yrs. or so.
            And actually used to be able to hit them great distances. 😞 But I never kept those.

              87 at my home course. Cold and crazy windy but it was poor chipping and putting that killed me.

              Monthly scramble today. Turns out I was 1 of 3 subs and the only original member was the A player. This guy was a wiry, fit, athletic 60-something (no it wasn't @Typhoon-he's taller than John and he's in Florida) who could bomb it. We Eagled our first par 4 after he drove the green (305y). We got to -9 and our team handicap was 6.2

              Waiting to see how we did, but not optimistic. Fun day. I got my 2drive minimum in quickly, made a few approaches that led to birdies and sunk my fair share of putts.

              Edit- we won Low Gross! $22 each!

                DonM I have never, ever been on a winning scramble team.

                My winning % is just barely above yours......

                  DonM I end up winning something so often that I can remember the times my team didn't win anything... maybe twice in the last ten years?

                      79 at Timber Greens. Had one birdie. The 5 wood and 9 iron were the stars today. Had the place to ourselves this morning because they were having the club championship later. Another nice cool dry morning.

                      sdandrea1 The program office I support used to have a golf day with nice prizes--until the lawyers woke up, that stopped--some teams would try to stack (I was on winning team twice)-once a team proudly announced they had a ringer, guy played on The Citadel golf team, we all said go ahead, get them all. The Citadel🤣

                          sdandrea1 I think these are fun. We had mulligans you can buy, string for putts--some teams said since they did not provide scissors, they never ran out. My teams wasted more time talking stupid strategy among us.

                          No handicap teams.

                              Those are the fund raiser events you described. String, mulligans ,etc.

                              This monthly event is run by the pro. Everyone has to have a GHIN index and every team gets a scaled handicap using a declining % of each player's course handicap. One strategy is to get 2 very good players, one decent guy and a 4th with a mega handicap (20+).
