Does anyone here make the attempt to cut doglegs? I am playing in a local tournament in 3 days and see 2 doglegs on the course where there is no hazard danger if i try. The tree height is unknown as of yet. The carry from google is 230 on one and 240 on other for trees which would probably make it a high launch 260 to be totally clear of the trees and one bunker,

How can you possibly record an individual score in a scramble??? The nature of a scramble is that there are no individual scores. You always pick up the balls and move them to the location of the ball selected as the one you want to play. Where would you ever get an individual score within that context?

this scramble uses the best score of the 4some,,,its not a best ball

How is that not a best ball? A scramble doesn't use anyone's individual score. There's one score for the hole.

If you all play your own ball as it lies from tee to hole then it you ARE playing a best ball. A Best Ball format is when all players play their own balls down, then take the lowest score (or more often in a four man team the lowest 2 scores) for the team score.

A Scramble is where all players hit, then choose the location of the best shot for all players to play the next shot from. The best ball format is recognized as an acceptable form of play by the Rules of Golf. A scramble is not. In a scramble no individual scores are even possible, only one team score.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
